Mick Winters has Perfect Woman in top form and she followed a maiden victory over timber at Clonmel by scoring over fences at Sligo. She looks well treated and looks certain to be in the firing line but it was difficult not to be impressed by Notification at Listowel and though now in the veteran stage he hasn't had too much racing and will make a bold bid to complete a double. However, he didn't finish far in front of DEANO (NAP) here in 2014 and, as the latter is much better off at the weights and was running well in the spring, he looks the one to be on. Hard Bought was in very good shape in the spring scoring at Gowran and Tipperary and is probably still capable of better this campaign though he finished just behind The Mad Well in March and the latter would have chances if keeping on his feet.
