Pundit pick: TeofilDiffers from our pick

Teofil shares the top rating with Farney Bridge at 104, and the fitness edge that tilts us toward him in this sixteen-furlong test at Killarney on good ground is the deciding factor in what is an admittedly close call; Farney Bridge represents the chief threat and Emergency Man, some way below on 86, could outrun expectations if the principals disappoint. Among the unrated runners, Lady Boudica and the others are difficult to assess with confidence, keeping this a low-conviction play. On balance, Teofil is our selection.
