Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Duke of Luckley
Duke of Luckley is our selection at Southwell, and he looks the right one to side with despite Last Kingdom holding the higher figure on our ratings. At 125 he sits only five pounds behind that rival, a gap his progressive profile and fitness edge should be enough to close over the 16 furlongs. Last Kingdom is the chief danger as the top-rated runner, while Bluegrass and Wild Goose, rated 120 and 119, are the others most likely to make it a race. Duke of Luckley is the pick, with his improving profile the deciding factor.
