LEBLON has been tried in some decent company in the past and Henry De Bromhead's mare was in the process of running another creditable race at Down Royal before she spoiled her chance with a bad mistake at the last. This looks an easier assignment and we are happy to offer her another chance. Nodelay is a winner of three races over hurdles, and she makes a belated switch to fences. Were she able to run up to the marks she obtained at that discipline, she has to be treated with plenty of respect. Dominetta Vitali appears at her best with some give underfoot, while Rossa Parks looked useful when landing a maiden hurdle at Limerick but Sean Ahene's seven-year-old has failed to get her head in front since.
