FormscanBy Mark Nunan - There is very little between the five runners on ratings. REAL APPEAL loves Leopardstown and won last year’s renewal before going on to land the Group 2 Boomerang Stakes on Irish Champions Weekend. He was a lacklustre fifth behind Pretreville on his reappearance over 1m at this track but can turn around the form on 3lb better terms and with headgear back on. Pretreville has done well since coming from France and made all in that Group 3 having previously chased home the classy Pearls Galore over the same trip. He’s tactically versatile and might be able to control the race from the front. Dr Zempf didn’t stay a mile at the Curragh but won over course and distance previously while Thunder Rain is very talented on his day but has become a little difficult to predict.
