Verdict
FACETHEPUCKOUT was winning for the first time since 2019 when strolling home at the Curragh on Thursday and has a 7lb penalty to overcome. However, he was so impressive that a quick follow-up looks on the cards. Sadiqaa is another turning out quickly after a good run at Dundalk on Friday while Dragon Roll bounced back to form on the latter track though that was over 1m2f and this looks on the short side. Shawaf is 1-31 and that victory came on Polytrack but The Pocket Flyer ran well enough at Killarney last week to reach the frame. Chimeric had run well in two fast-ground handicaps here in the summer and attracted strong support at Navan but found the ground too soft.
