Verdict

FACETHEPUCKOUT showed the benefit of his reappearance run and was arguably unlucky not to win when meeting interference at a crucial point when third at Naas (1m) 5 days ago and, unsurprisingly turned out quickly, he could well be up to making amends again partnered by Colin Keane. Dagoda remains a maiden but is knocking on the door and is feared, with Eloquent Arthur, Jaafel and Relevant Range others fancied to feature.
