Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Great Chieftain

Great Chieftain heads this Windsor mile on a rating narrowly ahead of Clouds Hill and Knights Gold, with Signcastle City also in the mix, making this a competitive Class 4 heat. He has a clear edge on our figures, though the closeness of the principals means this is far from a straightforward assignment. Clouds Hill and Knights Gold, rated level on 86, represent the most plausible threats and will need watching throughout. Great Chieftain is our selection, though with limited confidence given the strength of the chasing pack.
