Pundit pick: Megaphone

Megaphone holds a progressive profile that gives cause for optimism in this Class 6 seven-furlong contest at Lingfield despite sitting four pounds behind the top-rated Crown The Future on paper, and that upward trajectory suggests the gap may flatter the rival when the stalls open. Crown The Future leads the field on ratings and cannot be dismissed, while Vitalline and Rovinia are also capable of making their presence felt at these weights. The selection's improving profile is the crux of the case here, and Megaphone is taken to continue that progression and justify the preference.
