Ndaawi stands clear of the chasing pack on these ratings and looks well-suited to the 18f trip on good-to-soft ground at Galway, where the emphasis on staying power should play to his strengths. Ocastle Des Mottes and Captain Ryan Matt are the most serious dangers and will need to be watched closely, while Daydream Nation cannot be entirely discounted at the back of the market. The selection’s superiority over this field appears genuine, and with conditions in his favour, Ndaawi is the one to be on.
