Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Tronido

Tronido arrives at Epsom on a progressive profile that sets him apart from rivals rated level with him, and there is reason to believe he has more to offer at a mile on this good-to-soft surface. The chief concern is Oj Lifestyle, who heads the field on ratings and must be respected, while I Am Me and Marsh Benham both carry credible claims and will ensure this is no straightforward assignment. Nevertheless, the upward curve in Tronido's form makes him an appealing proposition against a field where several rivals appear more exposed, and the each-way case rests firmly on his potential to continue improving. The selection is Tronido.
