Verdict
PENNY JANE was a beaten favourite in better company at Down Royal after making a winning start over hurdles at Listowel but this looks a good opportunity for Gordon Elliott’s mare to get back on track. Dear Sire beat a subsequent winner at Cartmel two runs ago but is giving the selection 14lb, though that his halved by Lorcan Murtagh’s claim. All's Quiet had a spin on the Flat after dead-heating at Down Royal and, generally progressive over timber, is not out of this.
