Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Kinnalargy
Kinnalargy is our selection at York's Class 4 six-furlong contest, preferred to the head of our figures on a progressive profile rather than sheer weight of rating. Rated 87, only narrowly behind the top-rated runner, Go Vince Go on 89, and level with Anaisa on the same figure, Kinnalargy gets the vote in a race with real strength in depth. Go Vince Go, Anaisa and Dolos Dream on 84 represent the chief dangers in a competitive 12-runner field spanning 89 down to 65. Confidence in the selection is medium.
