Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: O'Moore Park

O'Moore Park looks the right one to side with in this three-runner Class 3 contest at Uttoxeter, with our ratings putting him 9 lb clear of Country Mile and 18 lb ahead of The Gray Ghost, a sizeable gap on a good surface over two miles. Country Mile is the main danger and would need to improve to close that deficit, while The Gray Ghost faces an even tougher task from 18 lb behind. With only two rivals to beat and the best rating in the line-up, O'Moore Park is a confident selection.
