Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Muskerry Rock
Muskerry Rock holds a clear edge over his two rivals on our ratings, sitting well ahead of Depalma, who in turn is only narrowly clear of Limerick Leader, and he tops the field in this three-runner Class 3 contest. Depalma is the chief danger and should not be underestimated, while Limerick Leader will need to find improvement to threaten at the weights. With conditions appearing to suit and the form figures stacking up in his favour, the selection is Muskerry Rock.
