Alhellal has a penalty for landing a Roscommon bumper in June and was beaten a long way in a maiden over two miles here on his hurdling debut. Craigs Dream has shown the occasional sign of ability but Like A Comet was beaten a distance on his return from a long break at Kilbeggan on Saturday and will probably need another run to put him straight. ABARTA tackles this trip for the first time but his overall form, especially when a good third to Carlingford Lough at Roscommon last time, should see him home in this moderate finale.
