Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Mighty Magnus
Mighty Magnus heads this ten-runner five-furlong contest at Doncaster narrowly ahead of Emerald Harmony on our ratings, and his profile makes a compelling case for him to justify that advantage at the finish. Emerald Harmony and Smart Vision will be the primary threats, with Duran also capable of making his presence felt, but none of the trio look quite equipped to reel in a horse of Mighty Magnus's calibre on these figures. The remainder of the field are rated meaningfully below the principals and would need something to go significantly wrong for the selection to be caught out. Mighty Magnus is our selection.
