Aunt Audrey gained her only victory over hurdles over this track and trip though that was on good ground but De Bennette gained an easy course and distance success last month in very testing conditions though has been well beaten subsequently. MOLL DOTE (NAP) was well supported at Punchestown last week and looked like winning when taking the lead 2 out but was eventually run out of it. That was over 2m4f on heavy going and compensation awaits. Capture The Action has never won in 17 starts under Rules but has been thereabouts on several occasions while Midland Millie would have a chance on her form in the autumn though she's run poorly the last twice.
