Verdict
Amanirenas and Ferrybank have both won on their only starts here. The latter is on an 11lb lower mark and came in for strong support at Dundalk last time but disappointed. RUN THE JEWELS (NAP) is in excellent form having returned after a break to score on soft ground at Listowel and, though 8lb higher, he has the potential to climb further up the ratings. Listowel winner Star Of Cashel very nearly completed a double when runner-up in a huge field at the Curragh, with Trueba close behind, but another 5lb rise makes this more difficult and the latter can turn the tables. Fastman has been in good form and didn't quite get the run of the race at Thurles while Colin Keane is an eye-catching booking for Pulse Of Shanghai though his mount hasn't proved he stays this far. Dazzling Spirit disappointed at the Curragh after scoring at Clonmel but bounced back at Killarney and an 8lb rise looks manageable.
