Verdict

Real Appeal won this in 2021 but finished last of five a year ago. He was beaten ten lengths behind Power Under Me when the latter won a Group 3 over a mile here last month and it's difficult to see a form reversal. The latter's yard is also represented by Mutasarref, the choice of Colin Keane, and greatly improved last summer when scoring four times. Three-year-olds have a reasonable record in the race and Ocean Jewel is the only representative from that age group here. A Down Royal maiden winner, she's never raced over this trip but was staying on over 6f in a Naas Group 3 last month. AGARTHA is a tough and consistent filly who couldn't cope with smart stablemate Honey Girl at the Curragh but won a Tipperary Group 3 in August and may be good enough.
