No shortage of good candidates here but the lightly raced, clearly improving CLARE ISLAND gets the nod to defy top-weight. Red All Star is closely matched with the selection and with a weight pull in his favour has to rate a big danger. Free To Roam, Baby Power and Blue Bounty are all given chances with that the order of preference for the trio.
