Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Golden Knight
Golden Knight is our selection for this Class 4 over today's 10f at Ascot, narrowly the top-rated on our figures and with a win in his recent form to back that up. Samuel Colt is the obvious rival on our numbers, just behind, while Gatehouse and Morbeh both arrive with wins of their own and cannot be dismissed. We side with Golden Knight with confidence, even allowing for a blank effort last time out.
