RIVELLINO hasn't brought his game to the turf this summer but he wasn't given a hard time at Fairyhouse most recently and could thrive back on an artificial surface. He holds an admirable record on the AW and scored here in April on his only previous visit to this venue. He's attractively weighted if the return to the surface sparks him into life. Holy Cat was backed for a Group 3 at Leopardstown on seasonal bow in May and has to be worth noting on first outing since while Geological would be dangerous if getting the run of the race. Alfredo Arcano knows how to win around here and is another respected on return to the AW game.
