GUESSTHEBILL didn't attract much attention on his debut at Naas but ran a fine race, only just failing to overhaul T For Tango in what looked a strong maiden. Himmah missed the break on her debut here and never got into contention but she stayed on strongly and is certain to improve for that experience. My Silver Nails was behind in that latter contest and looks held while Big Bad Sal, though a half-sister to four winners, will probably do better over further. Dowhatisay is a speedily-bred type with entries in major sales races so is one to keep an eye on.
