NODOUBTABOUTTHAT (best price 4/1) was fully entitled to need the run on her first start for 195 days at Fairyhouse last time and with tonight’s contest a good deal less competitive in terms of both numbers and overall strength of opposition, Shane Crawley’s mare shouldn’t be too far away from career win number three.

A big improver throughout last season’s summer jumping campaign, it’s pretty clear connections have set their stall out to similarly wait for better ground to arrive and, with her latest exploits going along way to blow away the cobwebs, she should be pretty close to where she need to be in order to win again. Moreover, her speed figures – even including her run at the Co Meath venue last time – come out well compared to the rest of the field, and with a sharp, right-handed track over two miles seen as her optimum conditions, the daughter of Oscar makes more than a fair bit of appeal at the morning odds back in among her own sex.

SILVER GUN (NAP) (best price 2/1) totally dismantled his rivals over tonight’s C&D last time out and a performance of similar quality should be sufficient for Marco Botti’s in-form grey to repeat the dose.

Progressive last season until a couple of poor runs towards the backend rather dented his copybook, but on the evidence of what we saw of him on his return to action after a 67-day break, he looks to be back to his reliable best. The way he quickened right away from his rivals here 21 days ago was impressive to say the least and despite being eased down close home, he still managed to post a useful speed figure. Clearly adapting nicely to the vagaries of the Berkshire venue, the son of Lope De Vega looks set to send his supporters into another orderly queue in front of the bookmakers’ pitches.
