Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Loriko
Loriko arrives here narrowly behind the top-rated Continuance on paper, but a fitness edge and a progressive profile tipping in his favour make him the more appealing proposition over this stamina-testing twenty-one furlongs at Kelso on good-to-firm ground. Continuance represents the most obvious threat and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Bold Light and Starlyte both hold sound claims if either runs to their rating on the day. On balance, however, Loriko looks the one to be on, and that is our selection.
