Pundit pick: KekeDiffers from our pick

Keke heads this twelve-runner field at the Curragh on good ground over six furlongs, rated narrowly ahead of Howd'yadoit and a clear step above Chicago Pope and Gavoo, who round out the main dangers, and his form entitles him to go well here if reproducing his best on this surface. Howd'yadoit will press hardest given the closeness of the ratings gap, while Chicago Pope and Gavoo cannot be dismissed if the pace sets up to suit them. Confidence is medium rather than high, and punters should be aware the race could easily be decided by conditions on the day, but the ratings edge and overall profile point in one direction. Keke is the selection.
