Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Signor Ferrari
Signor Ferrari heads this sixteen-runner Dundalk mile-and-a-quarter contest on the all-weather narrowly ahead of Wild Berries and Doctor Grace, who share the same rating and represent the most credible threats, with Star Mind a further few pounds behind but not for dismissing. The low confidence here is warranted given the compressed nature of the form at the head of the field and the size of the contest, so punters should be aware this is far from a straightforward call. That said, Signor Ferrari's narrow edge at the top of the ratings provides the thinnest of reasons to side with him, and on balance he is the one to be with. Signor Ferrari is our selection.
