PROMISING has been hard to keep right and ran nowhere near a mark of 96 when failing to land the odds over 7f at Kempton on her reappearance. But the Hannon filly gets another chance to prove that running all wrong in a weak contest. George Of Hearts was runner-up at Newbury when last in action and should be winning this year on that evidence but Irish Times finished last of nine on his reappearance and the newcomers will need to be above average to get involved.
