Chief Little Hawk makes a quick reappearance after landing a lucrative sales race at Naas on Sunday where he had Monaasib a short-head behind. The latter had been beaten almost 2 lengths by TERESA MENDOZA when Ken Condon's filly made a successful debut over the course and distance so today's weights point firmly to the filly. Coill Avon had no problems seeing off St Mark's Basilica here last month and the runner-up got off the mark here on Saturday while Sloane Peterson beat a good yardstick in Mooneista over 5f at Cork and should be even better over the extra.
