Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Spring Bloom
Spring Bloom arrives here on a progressive profile that the clock has consistently backed up, making her narrow deficit to the top-rated Tanmawwy less significant than the raw numbers suggest. Tanmawwy heads the field on ratings but our selection's upward trajectory gives her every reason to close that gap and go one better on this quick Newmarket surface over six furlongs. Rebel Path and Good Earth represent the next tier of dangers and must not be dismissed lightly, but neither carries the same momentum into this Class 5 assignment. **Spring Bloom** is our selection.
