“Blundered at the first - sat prompt behind the pacesetter and lay 2nd at halfway - shaken up turning for home - edged ahead at the last - responded to driving on the run-in and just prevailed to win”

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Hello Neighbour

Hello Neighbour is our selection and looks the one to beat, with a rating of 151 that puts him eight pounds clear of Bowensonfire on 143, a meaningful edge over this 18-furlong trip on good ground. Bowensonfire is the chief danger, while Putapoundinthejar on 131 and Mode Avion on 123 look to have a lot to find, and Western Doyen on 83 appears well out of his depth. Hello Neighbour has the class to control this small field and should prevail, so Hello Neighbour is the selection.
