Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Renesmee
Renesmee is our selection at Nottingham, and her progressive profile is enough to favour her over Garden Oasis, who is only two pounds better on our figures at 80 to her 78. Being narrowly behind on paper matters little when the trend points upward, and she looks the type to keep improving over this 10 furlongs on good ground. Garden Oasis is the main danger as the top-rated runner, while Didaar and Expressionless, both on 76, sit close enough to play a part in a competitive 14-runner Class 5. Renesmee is the pick.
