Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Winston's Oath
Winston's Oath is our selection, and he looks the right one to side with over the top-rated Eyeeye, who is only three pounds better on our figures. He gets the nod for his fitness edge, a progressive profile and a proven record on these conditions, all of which matter over 20 furlongs on good ground at Southwell. Eyeeye is the chief danger on raw ability, while Golden Garden and Pippin's Legend sit a little further back and could still make the frame if the principal pair falter. With a 92 rating to his name, Winston's Oath is the one to be with.
