Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Abbotsford
Abbotsford looks the clear choice in this five-runner contest at Bellewstown, rated 96 on our figures and a full 9 lb ahead of Narlita on 87, which is a sizeable margin over a testing 12 furlongs on soft ground. Narlita is the chief danger, with Count Bezukhov (85) only a couple of pounds further back and capable of making it a proper race if Abbotsford is below his best. Magnum Cor, on 74, needs to improve to get involved, while Dream Legend looks outclassed on these terms. Abbotsford is the selection.
