Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Gallant Lion
Gallant Lion heads this seven-runner Brighton Class 5 on a pound or so over the nearest dangers, and he has the ratings edge over twelve furlongs on good-to-firm ground. Crackergee and Darkest Red are closely matched with each other and represent the most credible threats, while Love You Back cannot be entirely discounted at one step further back in the ratings. The case for the selection is modest rather than commanding, but narrow advantages count and Gallant Lion is taken to edge it.
