Patrickswell recorded a hat-trick of wins in this before only finishing third last year. But he's been in rapid decline since and was tailed off behind CALM BAY last week. The latter scored at Navan by a couple of lengths, with Above The Law and Aru Cha Cha well beaten, and is taken to defy a somewhat excessive 11lb rise in the weights. A smart sprinter for Henry Candy back in 2012, Seal Rock is no longer the force of old which leaves Boughtforasong looking the main threat.
