Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Brains

Brains is our selection, and the progressive profile gives him the edge in a tightly packed Roscommon contest over eight furlongs on soft ground. He is rated just a pound behind the top-rated Navagio on our figures, so that gap is negligible, and an upward trajectory can count for more than a narrow rating deficit in a 14-runner field. Navagio is the main danger as the narrowly top-rated runner, while Zabriskie Point and Cosmic Funk are on the same figure as Brains and cannot be dismissed. Brains gets the nod as the most likely to improve past them.
