Alissam is our selection at Dundalk, and the progressive profile is what makes him the one to side with in a competitive 14-runner race over eight furlongs. He sits only three pounds behind the top-rated Daler on our figures, a gap that his upward trajectory can bridge. Daler himself is the chief danger, along with Gavoo, who is just a pound behind him, and Howyoulikethat, who is level with our pick on 86. With so little between the principals, the improving horse is the one to side with, so Alissam gets the vote.
