Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Prince Of Peppard
Prince Of Peppard heads our ratings on 73, four pounds clear of The Drambling Man and Santo Parvenue on 69, and that gives him a worthwhile edge in a ten-runner sprint at Navan. The good to soft ground shouldn't undo that advantage, and he looks the one to beat over six furlongs. The Drambling Man and Santo Parvenue are the obvious dangers, with Celestial Crown only a pound further back on 68 and well capable of getting involved. Prince Of Peppard gets the vote.
