Verdict
ALFARIDA showed ability last season without winning and changed stables before a neck second at Dundalk in April. He showed battling qualities to beat today's rival Master Garvey over this trip at Roscommon and is only a pound higher so can go in again. The runner-up will be 2lb better off for a short-head but the places can be confirmed. Snowdonia Song hasn't been beaten far the last twice and the assessor has given her a chance while Bataan should be winning soon judging by her reappearance at Leopardstown where she showed very good pace over a mile. Kaydees Magic looks on the upgrade after her last two runs on this track while The Fog Horn would have to be considered if getting a run after a much improved effort at Fairyhouse.
