Aghinagh left previous form behind when third at Downpatrick in May but has been absent again since. Royal Romeo was well backed making his hurdling debut at Cork last month and found only one too good. He should again beat third Bold Approach but may find HIGH CITY ROLLER (NAP) a tough nut to crack today. Willie Mullins’ charge won a Limerick bumper in the spring and was taking on decent opposition under a penalty at Bellewstown subsequently. Two of his siblings have already won over timber.
