Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Never So Brave
Never So Brave arrives here on a progressive profile that suggests the current ratings do not tell the full story, and while More Thunder holds a narrow edge on paper, there is a reasonable case that our selection is still on the upgrade and capable of bridging that gap over this seven-furlong Doncaster test. Witness Stand and Flora Of Bermuda both sit close in the ratings and must be respected as genuine dangers, meaning this is a competitive Class 1 with slim margins throughout. On balance, Never So Brave is the pick, though punters should be aware the confidence in this call is modest given the quality ranged against him.
