Pundit pick: A Wave Of The SeaDiffers from our pick

A Wave Of The Sea heads our ratings on 91 and looks the right choice for this 12-furlong test on soft ground at the Curragh, though only a pound ahead of Ben Vrackie, so the margin is slim. Ben Vrackie on 90 is the chief danger and sits right on his heels, while The Mediator (87) and Whimsy (85) are the other principals who could make the frame tighter than the numbers suggest. With a gap of five or more pounds back to the chasing pack beyond that quartet, the race looks to be narrowing down to those few, and A Wave Of The Sea has the narrow edge on our figures. We side with A Wave Of The Sea.

Today: Alfalfa (draw 10) and Whimsy (draw 7) get the bias; Rest Your Mind (draw 14) is in the least-favoured band.
