Verdict

A strong line up as one would expect for the centre-piece of the entire season at Cartmel. The £27,000 Cumbria Crystal Cup is the most valuable race run at the Lakes venue, and features no shortage of recent winners with Doubly Clever, ROYAL VILLAGE and Boruma seeking respective hat-tricks, whilst the thriving Petrou remains unbeaten for Dan Skelton and switches back to hurdles seeking a five-timer. Finding the winner is a challenge, and although it requires a career best effort from a mark of 127 on handicap debut, the Philip Hobbs trained, Richard Johnson ridden Royal Village might be the answer. He is improving with hurdling experience and he thrived when upped in trip at Worcester recently so gets the nod in an open contest.
  1. Royal Village
  2. Gran Maestro
  3. Boruma
