Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Trojan Truth
Trojan Truth heads this ten-runner Wolverhampton staying contest on the all-weather with a clear advantage over the rest of the field on performance ratings, sitting narrowly ahead of the chasing pack led by Baileys Warrior and Dijon Gone, who are joined by Wonderful Wendy as the chief threats to his supremacy over this fourteen-furlong trip. The step up in distance looks a potential asset for a horse of his profile, and provided he reproduces his best form on the Tapeta surface, the selection should have enough in hand to see off a competitive enough lower-card field. Trojan Truth is the pick.
