It's a surprise to find KATE APPLEBY SHOES back over 2m as she looked more of a staying type when just outpaced by Moscow Magic over 2m2f at Naas. However, her allowance can see her home here as Starry Knight also looked suited by further when runner-up to Killer Crow at Listowel in the summer. Burton Hall showed good speed for a long way on his debut at Punchestown in April and Copy Print attempted to make all there last weekend and only faded in the closing stages. Mister Miyagi fell in two point-to-points but made a highly encouraging debut under Rules in a bumper at Punchestown where he chased home the potentially useful Rock On The Moor, who was receiving 12lb, so he can get into the frame.
