What the facts say

Our view

Best selection: Suir Monad. Recent figures of 3431 – won last time; a Race DNA fit of 71 – today's going, trip and track suit what it has shown before; 10 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer A. Slattery has had 72 winners from 734 runners in our recent records.

The case against: Khormor Syd is close on the numbers; handicap marks are meant to level the field.

Others to consider: Khormor Syd and Navajo Point.
