Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Cornmarket
Cornmarket heads our ratings on 102, three pounds ahead of The Little Yank and four clear of Western Model, so he is narrowly the best of a competitive 13-runner field over the 26 furlongs at Sligo on good ground. That edge is worth having in a race where the leading contenders are closely bunched, and he looks the one to beat on our figures. The Little Yank and Western Model are the chief dangers, with Revolut Ned a little further back but still capable of making the frame if the principals falter. Cornmarket is our selection.
