Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: King David
King David heads this Class 6 contest at Brighton narrowly ahead of Winemaker and Dalmally on current form, and the good-to-firm ground over eight furlongs looks a fair test for the field. Winemaker and Dalmally are the most likely threats given their proximity in the ratings, while River Wharfe cannot be entirely discounted at a slight remove. The selection edges it, though this is a tight affair with little separating the principals. King David is our selection.
