CHAMBORD DU LYS (NAP) is progressing nicely and her second in a valuable handicap at the Killarney Festival a fortnight ago suggests she will take the world of beating. Tellthemnuttin defied a 7lb rise for her Wexford victory when storming away with a Down Royal handicap on Friday but the assessor has seen fit to hit her with another 10lb rise. Morga is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but would prefer some ease in the ground while The Nutcracker doesn't win often enough though will be better for a fine run in a Listed contest on the Flat a couple of weeks ago. Water Sprite won over fences last month and that's where her future lies, a remark that also applies to Flaviana.
