Sammy Smart heads this ten-runner staying contest at Wexford on good ground, narrowly ahead of Catalani and a further pound clear of Luimneach, and today’s twenty furlongs on good ground is a proven combination for him. Catalani and Luimneach will press hard throughout, and Kasper Hauser cannot be dismissed at a small remove in the ratings, so the selection needs to be at his best to prevail. With confidence modest, one brief caveat applies: if the pace fails to suit, the rivals could prove troublesome. Sammy Smart is nonetheless the pick.
