Apart from a modest effort at Limerick on his penultimate outing, FACE FACTS has been in pretty decent form this year. Bryan Cooper is one of the more accomplished riders in this and he must have every chance of recapturing the winning thread. Promise Maker won at Tramore last month and is only 5lb higher here, while Realta Rathcabhain ran arguably his best race so far when fourth in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel and is another with decent claims. Run Along Boy was third at the same track last month but is probably on a high enough mark at present.
