Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Paper Mill

Paper Mill is our selection, and he looks the right one to side with in this four-runner staying contest at Southwell. He sits only three pounds behind Law of Supply on our figures, a gap his fitness edge and progressive profile should comfortably bridge. Law of Supply is the main danger as the top-rated runner, while Alright Dai and No More No, rated 106 and 98, have plenty to find on the numbers. Over this extended trip, Paper Mill is the one to be with.
