Racing Post verdict
Third-partySampoet heads this 19-runner Roscommon contest on ratings, narrowly ahead of Midnight Moonshine and three pounds clear of Decimation, and that edge gives connections a reasonable platform to work from over the extended trip on good ground. Midnight Moonshine and Decimation are the most obvious threats, with Kilkee Bay also capable of making life uncomfortable in such a competitive field. With confidence modest in a race of this size, Sampoet is selected on the strength of his rating advantage, though this is a tricky heat in which any number could play a part. **Sampoet** is our selection.
