Verdict
Molly Connors has continued to disappoint since her fine opening runs while One Cool Princess, a point-to-point and bumper winner, finished lame when well supported on her hurdling debut at Cork last May and hasn't run since. Perfect Woman keeps finding one too good and may need a marathon to bring out the best in her while Vole Au Vent has been chasing without showing much. WHY NOT THISTLE ran into a progressive sort when outstayed by Queens Wild at Punchestown. She was travelling well at today's trip and is taken to go one better. Emcon looked a certain future winner when a close second to Killeena House at Navan in December but didn't make the expected progress at Downpatrick last week.
