      Verdict

      There is not much to choose between Kidlat and Buaiteoir on their running over a longer trip here in November but the latter won twice over today's trip at Dundalk and is preferred. Lytham needs further to show his best and Nicholas Pocock is struggling off his current mark so the vote goes to D'ARTAGNAN. Gay Kelleway's charge comfortably landed the odds in a maiden race at Lingfield last time and looks capable of even better now handicapping for the first time.
