Little between a few at this stage of their development. Lady Lingo and Sit Down Lucy came home second and third at Limerick last month in a decent contest over this trip and there should be little between them here. That's the best form on offer but both are more exposed than their main rivals who harbour greater scope for progression. Ally Cay has plenty of experience from her Flat exploits but was only having a second run over hurdles when scoring easily at Downpatrick and should improve again. However, DASHING SHIROCCO was equally impressive at Cork on her second start too under today's young pilot and is taken to deliver the goods again.
