Wasdell Dundalk heads the ratings and knows this course well, having slipped down the weights despite inconsistent recent form; first-time cheekpieces are an encouraging move for our selection. Garde Des Champs is the chief danger on our figures — capable of better on a sounder surface with a trainer in form — while Gunnery Sergeant, on his handicap chase debut, has potential to develop further with a capable yard. Our selection is Wasdell Dundalk.
