LADY OF THE SEA can take this as she has been running really well and though probably fortunate to win at Wexford deserved that success after two good runs on this track. Maureen's Star landed a novices' handicap at Perth before well beaten in a better race at Cartmel while Smiling Jessica has proven much better over fences and is only 2lb lower back over timber. Killeen Elegance hasn't run over hurdles for two years but caught the eye in no uncertain terms over fences at Roscommon during the week and should be winning again soon, though probably over the bigger obstacles.
