Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Tex

Tex is our selection in this wide-open 18-runner Ascot seven-furlong Class 4 contest, rated 85 and only a pound behind the top-rated Son, with a progressive profile giving him the edge over that rival. Son is the obvious danger on 86, while Dannick and Kimeko Glory sit on the same 85 as Tex and could easily turn this into a tight finish. With so little between the leading contenders on the figures, we prefer the horse still on an upward curve, and the race is run on good ground. Tex is the selection, albeit with low confidence in such a competitive field.
