Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Miracles Do Happen
Miracles Do Happen is our selection, and he looks the right call at Hereford. He is only three pounds behind the top-rated Mahon Falls on our figures, and a fitness edge plus a proven record on good to firm ground is enough to tip the balance his way over the 20 furlongs. Mahon Falls is the chief danger as the narrowly higher-rated runner, while Lady Dapple Rose and Siorai are both capable of making the frame if our pick fails to give his best. Miracles Do Happen is the selection.
