Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Danny Power
Danny Power looks the best of a field of nine on our figures, rated 101 and narrowly ahead of Bell Ex Too on 99, so he gets the nod over two miles on good ground at Punchestown. The gap is only a couple of pounds, so he is far from safe, and Bell Ex Too is the chief danger, with Sea Of Dubka on 95 also firmly in the picture. Dunmore, on 75, would need to improve to figure, while the four unrated runners add some uncertainty to the shape of the race. Danny Power is the selection, but only by a narrow margin.
