Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Forest Berry
Forest Berry has shown a progressive profile that makes her the one to be on over this eight-furlong trip at Ripon, and though she sits a pound behind the top-rated Statten Island, the manner in which she has been improving suggests she is the type to bridge that narrow gap. Statten Island represents the most obvious threat as the best-rated runner in the field, while Cash Cove and Aphra Behn will need to find more than they have so far shown to get involved at the business end. Forest Berry is the selection.
