Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Scots Poet
Scots Poet heads this eight-runner staying contest at Kelso on good-to-firm ground, narrowly ahead of Hijo de La Luna and a further couple of pounds clear of Fine Point, with Struth also worth keeping in mind from the fourth position in the ratings. The trip of eighteen furlongs over this galloping track should suit a thorough stayer, and Scots Poet's edge at the head of the assessments gives him a slim but genuine advantage over his closest rivals, even if Hijo de La Luna and Fine Point are capable of closing that gap on the day. Struth, rated just six pounds below our selection, cannot be entirely dismissed either if conditions suit. Scots Poet is the call.
