      Verdict

      Sceau Royal finished second in this in 2019 and was third last year but has 12 lengths to find with winner GREANETEEN, who beat Nube Negra in the Tingle Creek here in December and has been rested since running well below par in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown in February. Rouge Vif and Sky Pirate have a lot to find with the others at the weights.
