Verdict
VIOLET LASHES gave the well-regarded Kissed a fright on her second start at Navan in October and, as the remainder were well beaten, normal progress should see her difficult to beat. The winner's stablemate Unanimous produced a decent debut performance behind Pierre D'Or here in August but there's no particular reason why he should finish in front of Where's Danny, who finished a very good third in the same race. Both Speaking Of Which and Waving are likely to do better when tackling further and the market should be watched for positive signs of the remainder.
