NEW TERMS was well beaten at odds-on at Listowel but that wasn't her form and she stayed on strongly to score over 7f at Fairyhouse. An opening handicap mark of 87 looks fair and she can complete a quick double. Jet Streaming showed massive improvement on her handicap debut at Leopardstown where she was stepping up to this trip. She's been raised 8lb but it will be a surprise if she's not thereabouts. Groundfrost hasn't won since arriving from France but it won't be long coming judging by two excellent runs on this track, though both were on ground with some give. Surrounding landed a Limerick maiden with a bit in hand so can only improve and none of the remainder can be dismissed with Honor Oak only just failing to hold Asking in a tough handicap here last time.
