Not much chance of this one being involved in the finish. Usual tapped for a yard of early toe.

Others have more compelling claims on this occasion. Best form at shorter trips.

Prospects look non existent against these. Better at shorter distances. Tends to start slowly.

Ballymac Buddy is just about best of these taking everything into account but can't afford to put a foot wrong. Droopys Link is likely to go close too.
