Contrary To Law arrives here with a progressive profile that hints at more to come, and a fitness edge over some of the higher-rated rivals gives connections genuine cause for optimism around the mile trip on good ground at Roscommon. Cool Azul heads the field on ratings, with Flaming Rib and Thenandnow also holding clear numerical advantages, so Contrary To Law will need to run to the top of his ability to get involved, and the confidence in this call is modest. That said, a horse still on the upgrade can outrun a bare rating, and if the fitness advantage translates into a strong finish through the final furlong of this competitive eighteen-runner contest, the gap to the principals may prove smaller than it looks on paper. Contrary To Law is our selection.
