Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Force Noir
Force Noir holds a clear edge at the head of these ratings, sitting nine pounds ahead of Hanney Boy and comfortably clear of the remainder, and on a five-furlong Dundalk sprint over the all-weather that advantage looks entirely exploitable. Hanney Boy represents the most credible threat among the dangers, with Supreme Lord and Cyclone Code needing significant upsets to bridge the gap. Force Noir is the selection.
