Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: War Correspondent
War Correspondent heads this small field narrowly ahead on ratings, carrying a six-pound edge over Edelak and eleven over Arctic Voyage, and on this evidence he looks the most complete performer in the line-up over this stamina-sapping seventeen-furlong trip at Newton Abbot. Edelak is the most obvious threat and will need to be watched closely, while Arctic Voyage cannot be entirely dismissed if conditions suit, but the selection's superiority looks genuine enough to see him home. War Correspondent is the pick.
