Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: My Cullen
My Cullen heads this small Newton Abbot field on good ground over the staying trip of twenty-one furlongs, narrowly ahead of Jetty May on ratings and clearly superior to the remainder, and his overall profile over this kind of distance gives strong grounds for confidence. Jetty May is the most significant threat and cannot be dismissed, while Hatos and Mr McWhinny will need to find improvement to get involved at the business end. My Cullen is the selection.
