Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Wiltshire

Wiltshire heads our ratings at 108 and gets the nod in a competitive 18-runner sprint at Ascot, where good ground should pose no problem. He is only narrowly ahead of Annaf on 107 and Badri on 106, so the margin is slim, but he looks the best of a closely matched top group. Far Above Dream, four pounds behind on 104, completes the main dangers, and with a big field the draw and the way the race unfolds could shuffle that quartet. Wiltshire is the pick.
