ALONG CAME CASEY was very well supported on her handicap debut at Galway but was one of the few Dermot Weld runners to suffer defeat when runner-up to Cash Or Casualty. She was impeded early in the race and did well to get so close and can make amends here. Alabelle was also well backed at Leopardstown after a very promising debut behind Cape Of Good Grace at Tipperary but she could only stay on at one pace. Tonight's quicker ground and shorter trip should help and she looks a threat. Fountain Of Honour is yet another to have let supporters down last time having narrowly failed to catch Galileo's Daughter at Down Royal. She has an obvious chance of going one better while Livia's Wake ran very well over a mile at Naas last time and the longer trip will be in her favour.
