MEPHISTO shaped well on his return from six months off when fourth at Dundalk last month and rates the pick of the weights off an 8 lb lower mark here so looks the way to go. Maxwell Smart didn't enjoy the rub of the green when ninth at Leopardstown last time and could emerge as the main danger, with Tassarolo, Fine Print and Jurality also in the picture in this very open handicap.

About The Selections
Johnny Ward
Maxwell Smart He likes this track and should offer value at the prices, for all that he has such a poor strike-rate. Mephisto is feared most, despite a poor Flat Turf record.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: A decent pace still shouldn’t detract from the chances of those who race on or near the front end such as Jurality: The forecast decent pace still isn’t likely to sway the advantage towards those usually ridden further back such as is Tassarolo.
Individual Price Hint: Tassarolo traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts: Pons Aelius has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP 3 times on its last 5 starts.
