Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: King David
King David heads this nine-runner Brighton mile on good ground with a rating narrowly ahead of Shes Got The Blues and a more meaningful advantage over the rest of the field, and his profile looks well suited to this class and trip. Shes Got The Blues is the chief danger alongside The Spotlight Kid and Letsbeatsepsis, all of whom are capable of making this competitive, but they face a step up in class or form to peg back the selection. King David is taken to confirm his superiority and come out on top.
