Spacebound heads our ratings on 91, a commanding eight pounds clear of Harana on 83, and that margin over ten furlongs on good ground makes him the one to beat in this big Leopardstown field. Harana is the most obvious danger, with Walhaan a point behind and Molto Amichi close enough to take advantage if our selection fails to run to his best. With sixteen runners, a troubled passage is the main worry, but his superiority on figures is too large to ignore. Spacebound is the selection.
