Noras Fancy is doubly penalised for her two recent victories, both by wide margins, but she carried a huge weight at Clonmel last week and the runner-up has already gone one better. This is a big step-up in grade but she could well be up to it. Shadow Eile had looked very impressive when landing a novices' event at Listowel but seemed to find 2m2f and Listed company too much for her last time and she's another with a double penalty. DAZZLING SUSIE just held off Jacksonslady at Punchestown in May and the fact that the runner-up has won three times subsequently adds lustre to the form. She looks an outstanding prospect and gets the vote as the four-year-old Miss Nomer appears to have something to find.
