Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Bold Endeavour
Bold Endeavour heads this field on a rating that puts him comfortably clear of Rebel Tribesman and Service Minimum, and his superiority over the remainder is more marked still, making him a straightforward pick at the top of the weights over this stamina-testing twenty-two furlongs at Newton Abbot. Rebel Tribesman and Service Minimum represent the most credible dangers, with Kom Tu Voudras also capable of getting involved if conditions suit, but none of them look capable of living with Bold Endeavour at his best. Bold Endeavour is our selection.
