All form roads lead to UMNEYAAT, whose fourth place in a Curragh handicap last time was her first non-placed effort. A rating of 83 should surely be good enough to land a maiden around here. Lusaka's best run to date came at Dundalk but Optimistic Belief showed his first sign of ability at Roscommon and normal progress should see him in the frame. Siofra showed a bit of improvement at Gowran but needs much more to get close to the selection.
