Iamtoldiamgrand has been making steady progress and had the remainder well beaten when runner-up to Emcon here last month. Our Oscar was a 33/1 chance on his debut at Naas and was always in the front rank. He's likely to need further but will have come on for the experience. Jack Slade started favourite for his debut at Naas and though unable to cope he looked in definite need of further. The four-year-old filly WESTERNER LADY won't need to be a world-beater to make a successful debut and she's the first foal of a winning bumper and hurdles winner. She'll know her job and her allowances can see her home.
