Pundit pick: Paul Collins

Paul Collins shares the top rating of 103 with Duke Otto, and we prefer him for his progressive profile and proven record on these conditions, which should count over the 23 furlongs at Clonmel on good ground. Duke Otto is the obvious danger on level ratings, while Calzaghi, five pounds behind on 98, and Sharetheknowledge on 96 also have to be respected in a big field of 16. Paul Collins looks the one to be with if he handles the test of stamina as his profile suggests, so he is our selection.
