Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: In The Breeze
In The Breeze heads this Newmarket staying contest on a rating narrowly ahead of the chasing pack, and over eighteen furlongs on good ground there is every reason to believe that edge will prove meaningful when stamina is tested in the closing stages. Squire Danagher and Percy Shelley, both rated three pounds behind, represent the most credible threats alongside Premiere Ligne, who is only a pound further back and should not be underestimated in a compact field. The selection may need to produce a performance close to his best to hold them off, but the evidence points to him being the one to beat. In The Breeze is the selection.
