At Downpatrick over an extended 22f, Andys Flame is our selection, preferred over the top-rated Typical Thomas on proven form over today’s conditions and a progressive profile through its recent starts. Typical Thomas cannot be dismissed given it matches Andys Flame on our figures, and Ringdufferin and Nakassama also carry solid claims in this well-filled field of 18. Confidence in the selection is low given such a tight spread at the top, but Andys Flame’s upward trajectory gets the vote.
