Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Mr McLoughlan
Mr McLoughlan gets the nod at Hexham, sharing the top rating with Moveit Like Minnie on 128 but edging that rival on his progressive profile and a fitness edge that should count over two miles on good ground. Moveit Like Minnie is the obvious danger given he cannot be separated from him on figures, while Double Digits on 119 and Banderas on 117 sit a good way back and need to improve to land a blow. With the remainder of the field rated 114 or lower, this looks a contest in which the progressive Mr McLoughlan can prove best. Mr McLoughlan is our selection.
