RACING POST VERDICT

El Fontenaro heads our ratings on 66, a clear six pounds better than anything else in this ten-runner sprint, and that margin is the basis of the case on soft ground over five furlongs at Bellewstown. The main dangers are One Cool Bear and Dandy Land, both on 60, with Steel Magnolia a pound back on 59, so there is a solid group in behind who will need to improve to close the gap. Nothing further down the list looks capable of bridging the difference, and El Fontenaro gets the nod.
