FACETHEPUCKOUT is very well handicapped on his old form and, having shaped as though he'd have finished closer but for encountering traffic problems on his reappearance at Leopardstown, he gets the nod in this open-looking handicap. Alqabeela remains a maiden following nine starts, but there are positives to glean from her efforts the last twice and she is second choice ahead of Jazz Dreamers and Miracles In May.
