Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Amanha
Amanha looks the one to beat at Punchestown, and our ratings put her 12 lb clear of her nearest rivals, a sizeable gap in a five-runner field over sixteen furlongs on good ground. Fraher Field and Cleopatra's Needle share a rating of 112 and are the most obvious dangers, with Astelia a further couple of pounds back on 110, while The Dotski looks to have most to find. Amanha has the class edge over all of them and should prove too strong, so she is our selection.
