Naturally Blond won this on his return from a long break a year ago and is lower in the weights despite having only run twice subsequently. It wouldn't be a shock to see him go in again but SEARCH FOR A MYTH enters the fray in better form than most having been caught close home at Clonmel and can lose her maiden tag. Winning point-to-pointer Rosy Story is better over further on this quick ground but Miala Araya made a promising reappearance and handicap debut over 2m at Punchestown where she was staying on.
