Kopek Des Bordes is our selection and looks the one to beat on our figures, with a rating of 159 putting him 10 lb ahead of Irish Panther on 149, a gap that should count for plenty over two miles at Naas. Irish Panther is the chief danger, with Westport Cove on 146 and Bowensonfire on 142 also needing to be respected in a compact five-runner field, while Rockstown Girl on 108 looks out of her depth. The rating advantage gives Kopek Des Bordes the clearest path to success, even if confidence is only low, and he gets the vote.
