Pundit pick: Irish Rumour

Irish Rumour may sit narrowly behind the top two on ratings, but a progressive profile suggests there is more to come from this one over five furlongs on good ground at Navan, making the case that the bare figures do not tell the full story. Lethimfly heads the field on ratings and must be respected, while Asdana and Surpass And Shine are both capable of making their presence felt in a competitive nineteen-runner sprint. The selection is backed to continue improving and outperform expectations in what looks a searching test of the whole field. Irish Rumour is our selection.
