      Verdict

      Guaranteed is the pick on official ratings but hasn’t run since beaten in a Leopardstown Group 3 last July. He could just need this while CARTOUCHE (NAP) is another returning from a long break. A 14l Fairyhouse maiden winner on testing ground in October, Aidan O’Brien’s charge will be fit enough and the forecast rain will play to his strengths. Dance Jupiter’s two victories have been on ground with plenty of give while Casanova was impressive at Galway, as was Sherkin Island in a maiden on the same track.
