Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Minella Sixo
Minella Sixo is our selection, and he makes appeal over the top-rated Karl Des Tourelles on a fitness edge and a progressive profile, with only six pounds separating him from that rival on our figures. He is a rising type who looks the sharper of the principals, and that can count for plenty over eighteen furlongs on good to soft ground at Galway. The dangers are plain enough: Karl Des Tourelles is narrowly ahead of Chart Topper at the head of our ratings, and Road To Home is also firmly in the mix, so this is far from a gift. Even so, Minella Sixo's condition and upward trajectory make him the one to be with.
