Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Arc Kunoichi
Arc Kunoichi arrives here with a fitness edge over Cape Warrior that makes the rating gap of five pounds less decisive than it might appear on paper, and on good-to-firm ground over this sixteen-furlong trip at Kelso there is just about enough to hope she can outrun her narrow deficit against the top-rated runner. Cape Warrior remains the chief danger and must be respected, while Back In Favour, though considerably lower in our assessments, is not without each-way claims in a thin field of six that also includes three unrated runners who add an element of the unknown. The case for our selection rests on condition over class, and Arc Kunoichi is the pick.
