Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Arbaawy
Arbaawy gets the nod at Salisbury, where his progressive profile marks him out as the one to be with over ten furlongs on good to soft. Our rating has him on 90, just a pound behind the top-rated Alcaraz, and that gap can be bridged by a horse still moving in the right direction. Alcaraz is the obvious danger on 91, with Bnaider and Mr Seagull both on 87 and capable of making it a competitive finish in this 13-runner Class 4. Arbaawy is the selection.
