Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Inthenickoftime
Inthenickoftime is our selection at Galway, and the case rests on a progressive profile that makes him the pick over the two joint top-rated runners, Jay Jay Zee and Grandy Lane, who are each only two pounds better on our figures. At 114 he sits right in the mix, and an improving horse over this 16-furlong trip on good to soft can close that small gap. Jay Jay Zee and Grandy Lane are the obvious dangers, with Quint Major, just two pounds behind our pick, also firmly in the picture, so this is far from a straightforward task. Even so, Inthenickoftime's upward trajectory gives him the edge.
