Jesmond Lodge may have found 2m4f stretching her stamina at Wexford and very narrow defeats at Tramore and Roscommon. She's an obvious contender though she's yet to win a race of any description. MOONMEISTER, five times a winner on the Flat, didn't please everyone with the manner of his debut victory over timber at Downpatrick but the experience will have done him good and he can concede the weight. Crown Pleasure is still a maiden on the Flat after 15 starts but has shown enough to suggest she can do better over timber.
