Our view
Best selection: Atreides. Recent figures of 3036 – consistently in the frame; 23 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Neil Mulholland has had 49 winners from 444 runners in our recent records.
The case against: handicap marks are meant to level the field; we can't yet confirm how it handles ground from our own records.
Others to consider: Ballymoreen and That Is Blue.
