Pundit pick: Charlie's Dilemma

Charlie's Dilemma is our selection for this three-mile contest at Wexford on good ground, topping the ratings on 111 in a field of 15. That is a clear 11 lb better than Jury Foreman and John Storey, who share second on our figures, giving the selection a genuine edge here. Jury Foreman, John Storey and Barryroe Madam stand out as the chief dangers, each within a stone of Charlie's Dilemma, but none matches his overall figure. Confidence in the selection is high.
