Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: West Tyrone
West Tyrone sits six pounds below the top-rated Oman on these figures, but a progressive profile and a fitness edge over several rivals make the case for overlooking the rating gap here, particularly on a sound surface around Chester's tight turns over ten furlongs. Oman holds the clear numerical advantage and must be respected, while Mayflower Billy and Study Up are both dangers if they reproduce their better efforts. Confidence is modest, but the each-way case rests on West Tyrone continuing to improve and arriving in better order than those above him in the rankings. West Tyrone is the selection.
