RINCE DEIREANACH ended last season with a victory over 6f in a nursery at Fairyhouse but is 11lb higher on her return to action, though a line through runner-up Ellona suggests she may have the beating of Haunting Vocals, who beat the same rival at Gowran in October, and Mojambo. Johnny Murtagh’s filly was a beaten favourite twice at the end of last year and has become expensive to follow. That’s My Girl is having a first run for a new yard but won for Richard Hannon at Newbury in her first season while there may be more to come from Moonstone Rose now she goes handicapping.
