Calm Bay attempts to repeat his win in last year's renewal off an 11lb higher mark. Your Pal Tal has yet to win on Turf, though he rattled-up a hat-trick at Dundalk earlier this year. He beat MAJESTIC TIMELINE by only a head in February but the latter re-opposes on much better terms in this and can take his revenge. Shipyard has slipped down the weights and could bounce back at any time while Danz Gift and National Service are closely matched on recent running at Dundalk.
