Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Thelasthighking
Thelasthighking is our selection at Southwell, and on our figures he is the best horse in this five-runner staying contest, with a rating of 129 that puts him 11 lb clear of Dream Diamond on 118. That is a sizeable gap in a Class 4 over 20 furlongs, and it makes him the one to beat on ratings. Dream Diamond is the chief danger, with Palamon on 117 only a pound further back and Jet Smart on 113 also in the mix, though none of them can match his figure. Confidence is low, but Thelasthighking has the strongest credentials and gets the vote.
