FREE RANGER didn't take to very heavy ground at Listowel but did much better on soft going when chasing home Roman Seera at Cork and won't fail for lack of stamina so gets the vote. Curly Girl has been staying on strongly over 7f at Dundalk but has never raced on soft ground while Shamad appears to have gone backwards since tackling rain-softened going. Mokhalad wasn't beaten far twice on fast ground when trained in the UK but finished last when tackling Polytrack on his debut for new connections. Gibraltar Rock is related to a couple of winners and wouldn't need to be anything special to get involved.
