Talk Now didn't attract much support on her debut at Leopardstown and finished last of five but wasn't beaten far and will have learned a great deal. SAGITTARIUS RISING was a 33/1 chance in a handicap at that same fixture but almost defied his SP when caught right on the line. That was a much improved run and, providing conditions remain soft, he can go one better. Dermot Weld's Alanannda is by Invincible Spirit out of a smart miler so this trip should be ideal but Chilterns will probably need further in time.
