Natalisa made very good progress in her first campaign but faded so badly on her reappearance at Cork that she is best watched for the moment. Foot Perfect was highly tried after her victory on very fast ground at Navan and makes her handicap bow from what looks a fair mark but The Reaper's two victories have been at Dundalk and he looks a bit high in the weights. Moonlit Garden made a winning debut at the Curragh last May and competed with credit at a much higher level subsequently. She was placed three times at Listed level and will take some beating on that form though the concession of 11lb to ROSE BONHEUR may be beyond her. Kevin Prendergast's filly was very unfortunate not to have lost her maiden tag last season and her second to Sing Softly at the Curragh on her reappearance was a cracking effort. She duly landed her maiden at Tipperary last month and appears to have been let in lightly for her handicap debut.
