Catalani is narrowly behind the top two on ratings but is preferred here on the basis of a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, making the bare figures potentially flattering to those ahead. Not Just Any Eagle, the top-rated runner, and Boxing Great both represent clear dangers on their assessments, while Chutzpal — rated level with our selection — cannot be dismissed on this good-to-firm ground over the extended trip at Leopardstown. The case for Catalani rests on the belief that improvement is still forthcoming, though this is a competitive heat and confidence is not high. **Catalani** is our selection.
