Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Intrusively
Intrusively is the pick in a tight Newcastle contest, rated 81 and only a few pounds shy of the top-rated pair, but his progressive profile and fitness edge make him the one to side with over eight furlongs on the all-weather. Rogue Encore and Thunder Wonder both sit on 86, narrowly the best on figures, so they are the obvious dangers, and Nepal on 84 is another who can’t be dismissed. With the front of the field so closely bunched, the improving Intrusively looks capable of bridging that small gap and getting his head in front. Intrusively is our selection.
