Bold Style is our selection at Dundalk, and he heads our ratings on 92, four pounds clear of Hellorhighwater on 88, which is a worthwhile edge in a big, competitive field of 14. Over a mile on the all-weather, that rating advantage gives him the best platform to build a case on, and he looks the one to beat on our figures. Hellorhighwater is the chief danger, with Daler and Gavoo both just a pound behind him on 87 and capable of making it tight. This is no easy puzzle, but Bold Style gets the vote.
