Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Guildmaster

Guildmaster heads this nine-runner Ascot Class 2 over a mile and a half on good ground with a clear edge in the ratings, sitting narrowly ahead of Decade Of Time and a few pounds clear of the trio of Into The Light, Turty Tree and Archers Bay, and the step up to twelve furlongs looks well within his compass based on his form profile. Decade Of Time is the most obvious danger having posted solid recent efforts, while Into The Light and Turty Tree add further depth to the dangers and cannot be dismissed on similar figures. The ground and trip look to suit our selection, and with confidence in his ability to translate that rating edge into a performance on the day, Guildmaster is the one to be with.
