Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Zillow
Zillow heads this six-runner Class 3 event at Plumpton narrowly ahead of Edelak on these ratings, and on good ground over two miles there is every reason to expect that edge to translate into victory. Edelak and Eternal Angel represent the most credible threats, with Nap Hand also capable of making his presence felt if the principals disappoint. The selection's superiority at the top of the field is a modest seven pounds on these figures, and the conditions suit a straightforward win. Zillow is the pick.
