Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Achille Des Rocs
Achille Des Rocs holds a narrow edge at the head of these ratings, sitting just a handful of pounds clear of Tom Creen and Maggies Boy, and on a stamina-testing twenty-furlong trip around Sedgefield that small advantage could prove meaningful if he reproduces his better form. Tom Creen and Maggies Boy are the principal threats and both rate closely matched with the selection, so this is far from a foregone conclusion, while Clean Getaway should not be entirely dismissed if improving. On balance, Achille Des Rocs is the one to be with.
