Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Zatsgood
Zatsgood heads this fourteen-runner Newmarket mile-and-a-furlong contest on good ground with a clear advantage over his rivals in the ratings, sitting nine pounds clear of the next-best Sudbury Hill and ten ahead of Hengest, and that superiority should translate to victory if he brings his best form to the table. Sudbury Hill represents the most credible threat given his rating edge over the remainder, while Hengest and Gorgeous Mr George will also need to be kept onside as the dangers most likely to capitalise should Zatsgood underperform on the day. The class edge is hard to ignore over this field, and on the figures the selection merits his place at the head of affairs. Zatsgood is our selection.
