Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Theme Park

Theme Park shares the top rating with Degale, but it is that rival who poses the sternest threat on what looks a straightforward two-horse contest at the head of affairs. Great Blasket, rated three pounds lower, cannot be entirely dismissed if either of the principals fails to run up to their rating, while Relevant Range is the other runner to keep an eye on a further five pounds back. On balance, Theme Park offers enough to justify the call over eight furlongs on this good-to-firm Nottingham surface. **Selection: Theme Park.**
