Our view
Best selection: The Dotski. Recent figures of 1 – won last time; a Race DNA fit of 77 – today's going, trip and track suit what it has shown before; 33 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Henry de Bromhead has had 83 winners from 613 runners in our recent records.
The case against: handicap marks are meant to level the field; we can't yet confirm how it handles good ground from our own records.
Others to consider: Fraher Field and Astelia.
