Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Artavian
Artavian heads the ratings at 64, three pounds better than Beaune, Stitching Wheel and Different Drum, who share 61, and that narrow edge is enough to make him the one to side with in this Class 6 contest over 14 furlongs at Southwell. The trio on 61 are the obvious dangers and any of them could reel him in, so this is far from a gimme in an 11-runner field. Zafaan, a further three pounds back, would need to improve to figure, while the bottom half of the list look to have it all to do. Artavian gets the nod on his narrow superiority.
