Minella Buoy heads this eleven-runner field at Listowel over two miles on good ground, sitting comfortably clear of Connor Of Mali on ratings and well clear of Hello Garda in third, a gulf that speaks to a thoroughly convincing case on paper. The selection’s profile stands apart from the unrated majority and, assuming he handles the trip and the ground, there is precious little in the formbook to suggest the principals can overturn him. Connor Of Mali and Hello Garda are the obvious dangers but both face a substantial task against a rival rated sixteen pounds and twenty-one pounds clear of them respectively. Minella Buoy is the selection.
