RATTLING JEWEL (NAP) won this last year from exactly the same mark and followed up a couple of weeks later over the minimum trip from 9lb higher. He's changed stables and looked right back to form when narrowly beaten by Blairmayne at Naas so will take some beating though the winner was also returning from a break. The lightly-raced Zorion was always travelling well when scoring over 7f at Leopardstown, when Honor Oak had every chance in third, but has never raced over a trip this short and is up 7lb. Togoville was a long way behind the selection last summer and has become a specialist at Dundalk where he's had his last 6 starts while Arcanears will find this tougher than the heavy-ground maiden he won here a fortnight ago. St Brelades Bay generally goes well here though has plenty to find with the selection on last season's form
