Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Georg Zhukov

Georg Zhukov's progressive profile and a clock reading that backs up his recent form make him an appealing alternative to the top-rated Whiteley Way, who sits narrowly ahead on 62 to Zhukov's 59. The heavy ground at Ffos Las over a stout eight furlongs should suit a horse with Zhukov's profile, and a fitness edge over several rivals here could prove decisive in a Class 6 contest where the ratings tail away sharply from third down the order. Wellwhatshappenin shares the same rating as Zhukov and must be respected alongside Whiteley Way and Ajrad, so this is not a straightforward call. On balance, Georg Zhukov is the selection.
