Palace Boy heads this field on ratings, holding a four-point edge over Claude and a more comfortable advantage over the rest, though the confidence here is modest given the quality of the dangers. Claude and Churchwarden both post respectable figures and will press hard over this stamina-testing sixteen-furlong trip at Tramore, while Dairy Force cannot be entirely dismissed at the weights. On balance, Palace Boy’s superiority at the top of the ratings makes him the logical call. Palace Boy is our selection.
