Kevin The Great heads this 26-runner Navan field narrowly ahead of Miss Crinshawn on our figures, and over fourteen furlongs on good-to-firm ground he has the profile to confirm that superiority, his form placing him six points clear of Eastern Wind and seven above Desert Friend. Miss Crinshawn represents the most credible threat given she sits closest in the ratings, with Eastern Wind and Desert Friend also capable of making life difficult in such a competitive field. With confidence tempered by the size of the field and the strength of those dangers, Kevin The Great is our selection.
This should be run at a proper gallop because there are four that want to go forward, and that could play nicely into the hands of ARCLAND. He has already won at Navan, he was staying on well last time and Gavin Cromwell\’s yard is flying at 28%. In a huge field you need everything to fall right, but at 7/1 he makes plenty of appeal.
VERDICT: ARCLAND 7/1
