Mode Avion is our selection, and he looks the right call on a soft surface at Wexford over two miles, with a fitness edge and proven form in these conditions to lean on. He rates 126 on our figures, only 6 lb behind the top-rated Zanoosh on 132, so that gap is modest enough to overturn if the fitter, conditions-proven runner brings his best. Zanoosh is the main danger on raw ability, while The Big Clubman (125) is effectively level with our pick and Parnell Street (121) can’t be ignored in a competitive 12-runner field. It is far from a confident call, but Mode Avion gets the vote.
