Pundit pick: BurruDiffers from our pick

Burru arrives at Killarney on a progressive profile that makes a compelling case for going with him over the top-rated Ferdia, who holds a narrow two-pound edge on paper but may not possess the same upward trajectory. Ollie La Ba Ba and Miners Bridge sit level with Burru on the figures and must be respected across this extended trip on good ground, yet neither shows the same signs of a horse still finding improvement. The selection's profile suggests the bare ratings may already be behind him, and over twenty-one furlongs there is every reason to believe he will see it out strongly. Burru is our selection.
