Penny Jane showed the benefit of her opening run over fences when a close second over 2m4f at Kilbeggan and there should be more to come. Supreme Vinnie has performed with credit in tough handicaps and shouldn't be long in winning while Coffee made a very encouraging chasing debut in what looked a strong beginners' event at Kilbeggan and can only get better. Aint Dunne Yet landed a Thurles maiden hurdle on testing ground in March and is a real chasing type as is CLOSE SHAVE, who landed a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle on heavy going in April. The latter just gets the nod though Montana Belle is another who should be making her mark over the bigger obstacles before too long.
