Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Vaureal
Vaureal heads the field on our figures at 124, a full 8 lb clear of St Denis's Well on 116, and that sort of margin is hard to ignore in a 12-runner contest over 17 furlongs on good ground. St Denis's Well is the chief danger, with Nelson Muntz (114) not far behind, while Dairy Force at 108 is the next one to consider. Vaureal has the class edge over all of them and should prove hard to peg back if he produces his best. Vaureal is our selection.
