Pundit pick: Justenzia

Justenzia heads our ratings on 81 and looks the one to beat in this 13-runner twelve-furlong contest on soft ground. She is only a pound ahead of Duke Of Leggagh, so the margin is narrow, but she gets the nod on merit. Duke Of Leggagh is the chief danger, with Arch Enemy a further threat just behind on 78 and Coulstys Way also in the mix on 73. Justenzia is the selection.
