Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Almarada Prince

Almarada Prince heads this twelve-runner Class 4 sprint at Beverley on good ground narrowly ahead of Brummell and Big Cyril, and he holds the clearest edge in the field when measured against the wider pack. The chief dangers come from Brummell and Big Cyril, who share the same rating and cannot be dismissed lightly over five furlongs, while Accrual lurks just a pound behind and merits respect if conditions suit. That said, Almarada Prince's superiority at the head of the ratings, however modest, gives him a reliable edge in a competitive heat, and confidence is sufficient to side with him here. The selection is Almarada Prince.
