Nola Soul heads this six-runner field at the Curragh on a rating narrowly ahead of Florida Bay, and his profile over seven furlongs on good ground gives reasonable grounds for optimism, though the closeness of the figures means Florida Bay represents a genuine threat and Giant Sequoia, rated a few pounds back, cannot be dismissed if the selection fails to reproduce his best. City of Dubai is the other danger to factor in, though the rating gap to the principals looks difficult to bridge. On balance the case rests on Nola Soul translating that slim rating advantage into a win, and he is our selection.
