Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Saliko
Saliko heads this nine-runner Windsor mile-and-a-half contest narrowly ahead of the field on form and sets a reasonable standard for a Class 6 affair on good-to-firm ground, with Trojan Truth sitting just a couple of pounds behind and representing the most immediate threat alongside Pershalla, who is only three pounds off the pace. Guinness Lad, though considerably lower rated, deserves respect if conditions suit and should not be entirely dismissed over a staying trip. The confidence here is measured rather than absolute, but Saliko's edge in the ratings and his overall profile make him the most logical selection. Saliko is our pick.
