Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Jannas Journey
Jannas Journey arrives here on a progressive profile that makes her an appealing proposition despite sitting a few pounds below the top two in the ratings, and soft ground at Hamilton over six furlongs looks a fair enough test for her to continue that upward curve. Persian Spirit heads the ratings and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Mae Amor and Lily Pearl are dangers in a competitive enough heat. The confidence is not sky-high, but the progressive case for Jannas Journey is sufficient to make her our selection.
