Racing Post verdict
Third-partyCrown Board heads this competitive Ascot mile on ratings, narrowly ahead of Two Tribes and with a more meaningful edge over the rest of the field. Two Tribes represents the most pressing danger at just a pound off him in the assessments, while Cerulean Bay and Bullet Point are capable of making their presence felt if either runs to the top of their form. Confidence is medium given the strength in depth across this Class 2 field, but Crown Board's edge at the head of the ratings is a sound foundation. **Crown Board** is our selection.
