Formscan By Donal Murphy - Out of the brilliant Solerina, FACEMAN has turned a corner in recent starts. Making all on his penultimate outing at Kilbeggan, he since 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. While still a maiden, Time In A Bottle is of definite interest with Josh Williamson claiming 7lb. A runner-up three times from seven starts, she certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Already twice successful this summer, Warriors Wood warrants the utmost respect, while Nashville Notions is likely to struggle.
