Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Bymiddaytomorrow
Bymiddaytomorrow heads this eleven-runner Newmarket Class 2 over seven furlongs on good ground, narrowly ahead of the Al Samsama and Zephyra, who share the same rating and represent the most credible threats to the selection's claims. Polyxena, a further four pounds adrift, also warrants respect in a competitive field, though the gap to the remainder of the runners looks significant enough to keep the race between these four. On the balance of form and merit, Bymiddaytomorrow is taken to come out on top.
