Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Fanion d'Estruval
Fanion d'Estruval is the standout in this Class 2 staying contest at Ffos Las, with our rating of 167 putting him 19 lb clear of Guard Your Dreams on 148, and that margin should count for plenty over three miles on good to soft ground. Guard Your Dreams is the chief danger, with Iron Bridge on 144 and Nocte Volatus on 140 the other two who could make the frame if the leader falters. Those three would all need to improve to bridge such a sizeable gap, and the rest of the field are rated lower still. Fanion d'Estruval is our selection and looks a confident choice.
