Apples In Winter was no match for Night And Day over shorter on heavy ground here last month but had plenty behind her and won't be meeting one as good here. ROCCOS INSPIRATION found 2m7f beyond her at Thurles and pulled up in-between very good runs here and at Limerick so she can take advantage of the 13lb she'll be receiving from winning bumper Feddans. The latter ran a fine race at Fairyhouse last time though has never raced on anything but testing ground. Winning bumper Crossgales Ophelia showed potential in two starts last spring and didn't handle heavy going at Wexford in October.
