Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Aggagio
Aggagio heads this Plumpton Class 5 contest on a twenty-furlong trip over good ground and, rated narrowly ahead of the chasing pair Bread And Butter and Farhh Echo, holds a clear edge in class and form over the majority of this eight-runner field. Bread And Butter and Farhh Echo will push him hardest, while Captain Connor, a further two pounds back, cannot be entirely dismissed over this stamina-testing trip. The selection's superiority in the ratings, combined with high confidence in his profile, points firmly to one outcome. Aggagio is our selection.
