Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Bug Boy
Bug Boy shares the top rating with Basilette and Lunar Power on 61, so this Brighton contest looks tight, but he gets the vote as the one to be with over this 12f trip on good ground. Nothing in the figures separates the three at the head of the list, which makes Basilette and Lunar Power the chief dangers, while Stintino Sunset is only 3 lb behind on 58 and sits close enough to take advantage if any of the leaders underperform. Bug Boy has just enough in his favour on our assessment to edge a competitive Class 6 field, though this is a low-confidence call. Our selection is Bug Boy.
