Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Ohmali
Ohmali rates 2 lb behind the top-rated Signor Ferrari on these figures, yet the progressive profile that earns the selection her place here is the compelling reason to side with her over that rival in a wide-open seventeen-runner field at Punchestown over nine furlongs on good ground. Signor Ferrari cannot be dismissed lightly and Rockbury Lad and Rampage also hold realistic claims at their respective ratings, so this is no straightforward assignment. Ohmali's upward trajectory, however, suggests the bare figures may already be flattering the opposition, and she is taken to confirm that improvement here. The selection is Ohmali.
