Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Sierra's Dream
Sierra's Dream holds a clear edge over the rated rivals in this competitive fifteen-runner staying contest at Navan on good ground, sitting narrowly ahead of Sharbel and Rocky Alfonso at the top of the form assessments, with Emergency Man a further cut below. The unrated runners introduce genuine uncertainty over two miles, and any one of them could outrun their unknown standing, which tempers confidence in the selection. Sharbel and Rocky Alfonso are the most credible threats among those we can assess, and Emergency Man should not be dismissed lightly either. Sierra's Dream is our selection.
