Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: April Mist
April Mist heads this nine-runner field at Fairyhouse on good ground over six furlongs, sitting narrowly ahead of Bold Commander and with a more meaningful edge over the remainder, and her profile suggests she can translate that superiority into a result on the day. Bold Commander is the most pressing danger and will need to be watched closely throughout, while Pink Venom and Prince Of Peppard cannot be entirely dismissed if conditions suit. The selection is not without risk, but the overall picture points in her favour, and April Mist is the pick.
