Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Princess Rascal
Princess Rascal heads our ratings on 92, a clear six pounds better than Impierious and Kasgani on 86, and that margin is the heart of the case at Nottingham over ten furlongs on good ground. Impierious and Kasgani look the most serious dangers, with Sudu a further pound back on 85 and well capable of making this competitive in a 13-runner field. Confidence is only low given how open the contest looks, but Princess Rascal has the best credentials on the figures and is our selection.
