CAREFULLY SELECTED looks to have a good chance to follow up his win at Fairyhouse in November before tackling more competitive contests later in the year.. He won that contest despite not jumping particularly well and looking as though he needed the run. Expect him to be fitter here. The main danger could come from City Island who was a classy hurdler. He needs to put a bad experience on his chase debut behind him but if he has learned from that experience he should go well. Dallas Des Pictons has scope to improve and while a little below par on his latest run, he has more experience under his belt and can run a fair race.
