Verdict

Eye Of The Storm won this a year ago and has competed at pattern race level in every race subsequently, landing a Group 3 at Leopardstown for which he's penalised. He'll give a good account and looks a bit better than stablemate Beach Of Falesa. Altesse gets plenty of allowances and it was certainly no disgrace to be beaten by Tarana in a Galway Listed contest last time so she should go well. However, FORGOTTEN RULES (NAP), who landed a Punchestown bumper by 13 lengths on his racecourse debut in April, returned from a long break to win just as convincingly over 1m6f on soft ground at Galway and can hardly be opposed with further progress virtually guaranteed. Shu Lewis was eight lengths behind in that latter event and though having Toe The Line a long way behind at Killarney in May the latter has improved so much that she can take her revenge.
