Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Bounty
Bounty arrives on a progressive profile that gives us reason to side with him over the top-rated Kendall Roy, who holds a narrow three-pound edge on these assessments but may have less improvement left to offer. Erosandpsyche and Keke, both rated a pound above Bounty, are legitimate threats in a deep twenty-runner field over this sharp five furlongs at the Curragh on good ground, and any one of the three could make this competitive. The case for Bounty rests on the belief that his upward curve has further to run, though in a race this wide open no selection can be held with great conviction. Bounty is our selection.
