Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Tullybeg
Tullybeg heads this competitive 14-runner field at Listowel on good ground over three miles, rated ten points clear of Sphagnum and a clear 13 points above the next pair in contention, and that profile makes a compelling case for a horse whose form entitles him to start this contest with significant authority. Sphagnum is the most obvious danger at a rating ten points below our selection, while Ira Hayes and Mister Pink, both on 114, will need to find improvement to bridge that gap over this demanding trip. The step up to 24 furlongs on a sound surface looks tailor-made for Tullybeg, whose superior form profile marks him out as the one to beat, and he is the selection.
