SACRE MALTA had Billybuster 15 lengths behind at Limerick on Thursday and a 6lb penalty looks nowhere near enough to prevent a follow-up as he could have won more easily if his rider had wished. Pretty Happy has just one victory to her credit after 37 runs over hurdles though she's consistent enough and could snatch a place again. World Citizen is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Downpatrick in September and should be considered in a race where most of the entries are out of form so a check at the betting market is advised.
