Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Dawn Of Liberation
Dawn Of Liberation holds a clear edge over Del Corso on these figures, with the pair separated by seven pounds, and she has shown enough in her previous outings to suggest this Class 5 assignment over ten furlongs at Nottingham on good-to-firm ground is well within her compass. Del Corso represents the principal threat and will need to outrun the gap between them, while Sedeirah and Aussie Pearl look held on their respective ratings. **Dawn Of Liberation** is our selection.
