Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Royal County Glory
Royal County Glory rates 4 lb behind the top-rated Viking Glory and a pound adrift of Cixi, but a progressive profile through the lower grades makes the case that there is more improvement to come, and good-to-firm ground over seven furlongs at Brighton looks an entirely suitable assignment. Viking Glory holds the ratings edge and must be respected, while Cixi and Split Elevens are dangers if reproducing their best. On the basis that the selection has not yet shown its ceiling, Royal County Glory is taken to go one better here.
