Pundit pick: Dancing SymbolDiffers from our pick

Dancing Symbol holds a clear edge over the rated rivals here, rated 21 lengths clear of Conor'salwaysright on our figures, which makes the selection look well treated on known form, though the unrated quartet — Kippersandcustard, Orderly Conduct, Run For Fun and Hetty Parker — introduce genuine uncertainty over an extended eighteen-furlong trip at Sligo. Conor'salwaysright and Gruncle represent the most credible threats among those with a rating, but neither can match Dancing Symbol on the figures we hold. Dancing Symbol is our selection.
