Belvedere Blast sits a few pounds below the two highest-rated runners in this field, but the case for him rests on a progressive profile and what appears to be a sharper fitness edge than those rivals can currently claim, which counts for plenty over twenty-two furlongs on good-to-soft ground at Cartmel. Dinons heads the ratings and must be respected, while Rauzan and Handmedownastar are both capable of making this competitive, so this is emphatically not a straightforward call. Confidence is modest, and punters should weigh that carefully, but the belief is that Belvedere Blast’s current condition and upward trajectory give him a genuine chance to outrun his rating on the day. The selection is Belvedere Blast.
