Weddell Sea, runner-up over a mile at Longchamp when trained in France, has been in winning form over hurdles and has Colin Keane on board. Roman Bull keeps plugging away but disappointed at Leopardstown while the usually consistent True Artist was very reluctant at Down Royal and may have had enough for now. Dual hurdles winner SIX FEET APART was there with every chance throughout when tackling 1m4f at Tramore and though this looks on the short side she's taken to make her allowance count against the principals. Alqabeela was engaged in a claimer at Gowran yesterday.
