Piccolo Player is our selection, and his progressive profile makes him the one to side with in this 15-runner Galway contest over 18 furlongs on soft ground. He is rated 114, only two pounds behind the top-rated Prince Palace, so there is very little between them on figures, and an improving type can bridge that gap on the day. Prince Palace is the chief danger as the narrowly higher-rated runner, while Leave In Secret and Clonbury Bridge, both on 113, are poised to take advantage if our pick fails to progress again. Piccolo Player gets the nod as the horse most likely to keep moving forward.
