SALT WIND rates the form pick on the back of his excellent Fairyhouse second so gets the nod with more improvement in the pipeline up in trip (bred to stay well and has won a point). Recent Clonmel runner-up Dunboyne looks the pick of the Gordon Elliott-trained duo so is feared most with Mercury Lane another worth considering.
