Pundit pick: Dorans LawDiffers from our pick

Dorans Law shaped with plenty of promise on his last outing and arrives here with a fitness edge over the top-rated Ringdufferin, who holds a narrow pound advantage on ratings but may not be at peak sharpness, making conditions all the more relevant. The going at Sligo suits Dorans Law well and his proven ability on similar ground is a meaningful factor over this extended trip in a competitive twelve-runner field. Mr Dibbs and Cornmarket also merit respect and could make their presence felt if either improves on recent efforts, so the race is not without its dangers. On balance, though, the fitness and conditions edge tilts the argument in favour of Dorans Law.
