Several of these are well handicapped if anywhere near their best including Stormy Belle, who continued her good form when scoring here on Wednesday. She has a 6lb penalty to contend with but won off a higher mark at Cork a year ago. Youceeyouceecee won at this fixture last year when rated 72 and scored at Roscommon last month from 5lb lower. He's only been raised 2lb and will love the conditions so has to be on the shortlist. RATTLING JEWEL (NAP) hasn't won over the trip but completed a Curragh double on testing ground last summer and looked on the way back when runner-up in a big field there last month. He's another on a winnable mark and with his stable still flying gets the nod. Ecoeye will love the conditions and ran a fine race when runner-up over a mile on testing ground at the fixture a year ago. An absence since scoring at Cork in May shouldn't be a problem and he's another to consider along with Fair Game, who returned after a long absence with a cracking effort on ground quicker than she would have liked last month. Both Count Of Carabass and Hurricane Twister have won twice around here from higher marks while Admiralty won't mind the ground on his hat-trick attempt despite his latest victories coming on fast going.
