Last Goodbye has a penalty for his bumper victory at Roscommon where he came in for strong support. He should make a hurdler though the experience of HOLY WATER may prove just too much for him here. Jessica Harrington's charge has been a bit unfortunate to come up against useful winners since returning from a break and this looks his chance. Tithonus wasn't far behind him at Gowran earlier this month but Oighear Dubh is held on their run at Listowel last month. Roachdale House won three times on the Flat while Crazyheart made a successful debut between the flags in February and changed hands for £110,000 at the sales a month later.
