Killeemore Lad holds a narrow rating deficit to Jabbar but is preferred here on the strength of proven form on this type of going and a more consistent overall record, which gives confidence that he will handle the twenty-furlong trip at Downpatrick in reliable fashion. Jabbar represents the chief danger and will need to be kept a close eye on, with Robbies Rock and Kevin's Pride also capable of making their presence felt if anything goes amiss. This is a competitive little field and the selection is taken on trust rather than with total conviction, but the case for him rests on solid foundations. Killeemore Lad is the pick.
