Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Port Road
Port Road is our selection, sharing the top rating of 79 with Warning Symbol and Magnatura, and we prefer him on a progressive profile that the clock backs up. In a Class 5 over a mile on standard-to-slow Kempton all-weather, that upward curve and sound time evidence give him the edge over rivals who look no better than level on figures. Warning Symbol and Magnatura are equally rated and are the chief dangers, while Be Frank is only two pounds adrift and cannot be dismissed in a tight-looking contest. Port Road gets the vote.
