Race preview
Out of the brilliant Solerina, FACEMAN has turned a corner in recent starts. Making all at Kilbeggan, he then finished second to Ballykinlar at the Co Westmeath venue, with that one giving the form a boost by following up at Sligo last week. After registering a double at Downpatrick on Sunday, Sam Curling and Phillip Enright are represented by course winner Derryville. The highest-rated runner in the line-up, she has to give weight to all of her rivals. Although still a maiden, Time In A Bottle is of definite interest with Josh Williamson claiming 7lb. Runner-up three times from seven starts, she certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn.
