Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Inis Oirr
Inis Oirr is our selection here, and the case rests on fitness: he looks the sharper of the pair at the head of our figures, and that edge counts over a stamina-sapping 26 furlongs on good ground at Kelso. He is only two pounds behind Golden Point on our ratings, so that gap is easily bridged by being the fitter horse on the day. Golden Point is the principal danger as the top-rated runner, while Upfordebate is a further five pounds back and Sir Carnegie, at 105, looks to have most to find. Inis Oirr is the pick in what should be a tight four-runner contest.
