Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Centreofattention
Centreofattention gets the nod in this 16-runner, two-and-a-half-mile contest on good ground, sitting top of our figures on 106 and three pounds clear of his nearest pursuer. That is a narrow edge rather than a commanding one, so this is far from a foregone conclusion. Land Of Punt (103) is the obvious danger and sits just behind, while Pure Logic (98) and Codger's Rock (97) are also capable of making the frame if the gap to the selection is closed. Centreofattention has the best numbers on the page and gets the vote, albeit with low confidence in such a competitive field.
