Jim Bolger is a master at bringing horses out quickly to score under a penalty and RINGSIDE HUMOUR can continue the trend. She showed nothing last season but has clearly improved over the winter and overcame trouble in-running to catch Sakhees Jack over 7f at Gowran on Saturday. The runner-up is involved earlier in the day and expected to boost the form. It's rare to find an Aidan O'Brien trained runner at the bottom of a handicap never mind two of them and though Echoes Of My Mind and Absorbing look moderate by the stable's standards they are capable of making their presence felt in this company. Extreme Appeal could prove the main threat as he's shown a liking for testing ground and has been staying on over a mile.
