Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Fastnet Crystal
Fastnet Crystal heads this seven-runner staying contest at Bellewstown rated narrowly ahead of the field on our figures, and the stamina demands of this 17f trip on good ground look right up his street. Daboya is the most credible threat, nine pounds lower in our assessment, with Easter Bonnet and Radar Ahead also worthy of respect if conditions play to their strengths. On balance, Fastnet Crystal looks the one to beat and is our selection.
