TWILIGHT SPINNER's two victories when trained in the UK came on ground with give so she did well to finish as close as she did on her reappearance at Cork. Some rain would aid her cause but she looks the one to beat. Cigamia made a very encouraging return to action at Leopardstown where she only faded close home while Sh Boom, who won a minor handicap here in September, outran her odds when a close second to the heavily-supported Markaz Paname in the Group 3 Gladness Stakes last month. Prettiest raced in very strong company last summer and will be better for her opening run at Gowran.
