Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Kayf Dancer
Kayf Dancer arrives here with a fitness edge that tilts the case in his favour despite sitting third in the ratings behind Serious Chat and Turndlightsdownlow, who are narrowly ahead of him on paper over this stamina-sapping twenty-three-furlong trip at Worcester. Serious Chat, rated just four pounds clear, is the most obvious threat, with Turndlightsdownlow only a pound further back and capable of making this competitive, while Little Ledgend, though well below the principals on ratings, should not be entirely dismissed in a small field on good ground. The fitness advantage may prove the decisive factor if either of the higher-rated pair is short of peak condition on the day, though the margin for error is slim. On balance, Kayf Dancer is our selection.
