Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Shakespeare
Shakespeare arrives here on a progressive profile and with a fitness edge that makes him an appealing proposition over eight furlongs on good ground at the Curragh, despite sitting two pounds behind the top-rated Venetian Power on our assessments. City of Dubai matches Shakespeare on ratings and must be respected alongside Venetian Power, while Drumbeat, though rated lower, is another of the main dangers. The confidence is modest given the closeness of the form, but the upward trajectory and readiness to run tip the balance in Shakespeare's favour, and he is our selection.
