Joseph O'Brien's pair SEA OF BLUE and Way To My Heart are struggling for form though the former is generally consistent and ran better than his latest figure suggests so he's handed the vote in a tricky handicap. Prickly dead-heated over 2m1f on fast going at Limerick before beaten over hurdles and should carry his big weight with distinction while My Manekineko stays the trip well and Pat Smullen was on board when he scored at Dundalk in May. Placere is slowly dropping in the weights but hasn't looked like taking advantage while Ondamoura has yet to win in 15 starts on Turf.
