Pundit pick: Royal County Glory

Royal County Glory sits narrowly behind the top-rated Ernie's Valentine on these figures, but a progressive profile suggests there is more to come and that gap may already understate where this runner truly stands. Ernie's Valentine, Age of Baroque and Dream Illusion all pose genuine threats in what looks an open contest across a fourteen-runner field at Southwell over this mile on the all-weather. With confidence acknowledged as modest, Royal County Glory is the selection on the strength of that upward trajectory.
