Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: King Cherry
King Cherry rates 2 lb behind the top-rated Royal County Glory on these figures, yet a progressive profile gives cause to believe that gap is already being eroded and may be reversed on the day, making him the preferred pick in a competitive seven-furlong Class 6 on the Lingfield all-weather. Royal County Glory is the most obvious danger and must be respected, while Melodical and Credit Forgedd It are capable of filling the places in a wide-open contest. On balance, the upward trajectory of King Cherry makes him the selection here.
