Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Topwarrior
Topwarrior is preferred to the top-rated Gaeli on progressive profile and fitness, who sits five points ahead on our ratings but may not have the same sharpness coming into this Hamilton five-furlong contest on soft ground. Francisco's Piece and Jordan Electrics will make this competitive and cannot be dismissed lightly, but Topwarrior's upward curve gives him every chance of turning the tables on stronger rivals. The selection is Topwarrior.
