Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Ribeye
Ribeye holds a clear edge on our figures over this nine-runner field at Market Rasen, sitting narrowly ahead of Galway Reel and a shade further clear of Huckleberry Sting, though the gaps are modest enough that this is no formality over the extended three miles on good ground. Galway Reel and Huckleberry Sting both rate as genuine threats, and Pawpaw cannot be entirely dismissed either, making this a competitive Class 5 contest where the form could be compressed on the day. Confidence is tempered accordingly, but on the balance of the evidence Ribeye is the selection.
