Dalileo completed an all-weather double over 2m for Mark Johnston though one was a seller. He was narrowly beaten over the same trip at Dundalk on his debut for new connections but has a long absence to overcome. Jumellea looks best of Joseph O'Brien's pair having run quite well on her debut over the trip at Killarney though this can go to ROYAL ILLUSION (NAP). Willie Mullins' dual bumper winner has had very little racing for her age and has run well in much tougher handicaps than this at the Curragh and Galway since scoring over 1m4f at Bellewstown. Rock De Baune gained a battling victory over 1m5f at Ballinrobe before finding 1m2f too short at Roscommon and though Run For Mary disappointed at Killarney last time her earlier form puts her in the frame.
