Pundit pick: ZucayanDiffers from our pick

Zucayan heads our ratings at 105, five pounds clear of Raging Al and Promethean on 100, and that gives him a genuine edge in a Class 5 contest over two miles on good ground at Uttoxeter. The gap is a useful one rather than a vast one, but on our figures he has the most in hand of anything in the line-up. Raging Al and Promethean are the obvious dangers on level terms with one another, while Uncle Remus on 97 is close enough to take advantage if our pick fails to run to his best. This is a competitive field of eleven and confidence is only low, but Zucayan is the one to side with.
