Sharp And Smart was a consistent performer for Mick Halford in Ireland though her only success came from a 15lb lower mark. FROZEN OVER won here in September and ran well on his two subsequent starts. He reappeared with a fair effort at Lingfield and looks well enough treated to score again. Derfenna Art scored on soft ground here in June and can now run from a 1lb lower mark so he must be of interest along with Falcon's Reign, though the latter may prefer some give in the ground.
