Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Charmaine
Charmaine arrives at Epsom on a progressive profile that makes her narrow deficit to Gordon Grey on ratings less significant than it might appear, and over a testing twelve furlongs on good-to-soft ground she looks well placed to continue her upward trajectory. Gordon Grey, rated a pound clear, is the obvious threat and cannot be dismissed, while Galaxy Star and Epictetus, both a few pounds back, give the race added depth. That said, a horse still finding improvement is often a sounder proposition than one whose ceiling is already mapped, and Charmaine fits that bill nicely. The selection is Charmaine.
