CULLENTRY ROYAL had been out of form before bouncing back to his best at the Curragh on Sunday when just failing to catch Katimavik over a mile. He's better over this trip and Donnagh O'Connor's claim can swing things his way. Pullman Brown came here in July for a handicap and could hardly have been more impressive so he's an obvious threat despite a 7lb rise. My Twinkle also scored over the track and trip last time while Prussian Eagle landed a minor handicap at Tipperary, though that was over 1m4f and this looks on the short side. Park Rebel has improved with every run and looked ideally suited by this trip and fast ground at Down Royal so looks best of the rest.
