Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Intosomethinggood
Intosomethinggood enters this Class 3 staying contest at Newton Abbot as the standout performer on ratings, sitting well clear of Thickthorn Tom, who in turn is only narrowly ahead of It's A Breeze, and there is every reason to expect that superiority to translate over this demanding twenty-one-furlong trip on good ground. Thickthorn Tom represents the most credible threat and cannot be dismissed lightly, while It's A Breeze will need to find significant improvement to trouble the principals. On the balance of evidence, the selection is Intosomethinggood.
