Pundit pick: Kiss And RunDiffers from our pick

Kiss And Run heads this nine-runner Windsor sprint on a rating narrowly ahead of Muker, with Thornaby Pearl and South Shore also in the mix as genuine dangers across the five furlongs on good-to-firm ground, so the race is far from straightforward. The selection's edge over the field is slender enough that Muker and Thornaby Pearl in particular could prove difficult to repel if they reproduce their better efforts, and South Shore adds further complication at the weights. On balance, Kiss And Run merits the call as the highest-rated runner in the field, though this is a tight affair and any uplift from her rivals would put the result in doubt. The selection is Kiss And Run.
