Verdict
Easy Galway winner Purring Along couldn't handle a 10lb rise here on Tuesday when Little Keilee finished last. Rock Etoile has been narrowly beaten the last twice but has gone up in the weights as has Coolree for finishing second in a Killarney maiden. RUN THE JEWELS won this last year from 4lb lower and was having only his third subsequent start when a close fifth at Killarney last month so gets the nod in an open handicap. Drop The Dip is another course and distance winner though wouldn't want more rain while Wrist Art finally got off the mark with a comfortable victory at Punchestown but is 9lb higher. Breezy Zoff has dropped to a winnable mark and her stable has struck form.
