Arctician, placed twice in Group company as a two-year-old, was odds-on for his reappearance at Tipperary in August but never looked like winning. He'll need to do much better than that while Palifico was also returning from a very long break when placed at Fairyhouse last month. The latter is likely to improve, a remark that also applies to ROYAL BLEND, who was having her first start since last October when runner-up to the heavily-supported Plume Noire at Bellewstown last week. Zerinda appeared to find a mile just too far at Navan and will be suited by dropping back in trip.
