CAMELIA DE COTTE defied mistakes to scramble home in a Listed contest at Clonmel and has to concede 7lb all round for winning three times over fences. She's probably capable of further improvement and can take this with a better round of jumping. Dawn Shadow, a comfortable winner over fences at Galway before falling at the first in a Fairyhouse Grade 1, had 5l to spare over Forge Meadow at Galway and the latter has since been beaten 10l by the potentially top-class Mengli Khan at Punchestown.
