ASTELIA has shown consistent form with consecutive second-place finishes in maiden hurdles and looks primed to go one better after a creditable sixth in a competitive Galway Flat handicap 9 days ago. Cosmos d'Ainay travelled well but didn't see out his race on hurdles debut and looks interesting dropping back to 2m, while Faithful Follower was booked for second when falling at the last at Bellewstown and rates a threat if none the worse for that tumble.
