Pundit pick: Lermoos LegendDiffers from our pick

Lermoos Legend gets the vote here despite sitting just 2 lb behind the top-rated Shabalko d'Herm, as he looks the fitter of the pair, is on a progressive upward curve and has the more solid book of form to lean on over the marathon 22f trip at Market Rasen. Shabalko d'Herm is the obvious danger on figures and cannot be dismissed, while Court In A Storm is only a pound behind our pick and sits right in the mix. Thickthorn Tom looks to have the most to find on ratings, but this is a tight little contest with little in it, so the selection is Lermoos Legend.
