Hint Of Frost found 1m1f stretching his stamina at Tipperary though has plenty of weight for his handicap debut. Zig Zag and SMILING EMILY both made their nursery debuts at Cork last month and either of them could have won with better luck. The former had to be switched at a crucial stage and wasn't beaten far but it's the latter who looks the one to be on as she was badly drawn and stayed on so strongly that she would have won in a couple of strides. La Tendresse split that pair but had every chance and looks held as do Dont Quit and Kilteery Pier, who were further behind. Intense Stylist has shown a bit of promise and may prove best of the remainder.
