Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Phantom Watch

Phantom Watch heads this thirteen-runner Windsor mile on good ground as the most highly rated contender in the field, narrowly ahead of Ribenska and a few pounds clear of Knowledge and Marsh Benham, and his profile suggests he is well placed to exploit that edge at this level. Ribenska poses the most obvious threat given she sits just three pounds behind and will need to be watched closely, while Knowledge and Marsh Benham also enter calculations and could make life difficult if Phantom Watch is not at his sharpest. The confidence here is measured rather than absolute, but the form and ratings point consistently in one direction. Phantom Watch is the selection.
