The improving SPIN OF A COIN landed a Leopardstown handicap last week and though slightly penalised should be good enough to complete a quick double as some of these rivals have yet to prove themselves. Noble Call takes a slight drop in trip after a fine effort behind Sportsmaster at Roscommon and looks certain to be suited while Adiynara should make further progress after scoring at Ballinrobe where Johnny Murtagh made full use of his stamina. Gort Na Mona hasn't done enough to justify faith in her to date but she's very inexperienced and should do better and Storminateacup could prove best of the younger brigade as this step-up in trip has been needed.
