Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Ascending Star
Ascending Star arrives here on a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, and while Great Chieftain holds a five-point advantage on our ratings, the trajectory of Ascending Star's form makes a compelling case that the gap is narrowing with each start. Luzon Heights and Mystic Moment are not without claims in a competitive nine-runner field at Windsor over this mile trip on good ground, and neither can be dismissed lightly. Confidence is modest given the depth of the opposition, but the improving profile of Ascending Star edges the selection ahead of the top-rated runner. Ascending Star is our selection.
