Angelic Demon was made favourite for her handicap debut at Gowran but had every chance and again looked a little one-paced. She's been dropped a pound since but may find one or two too good again. Nice And Dandy was keeping good company in the spring and would have every chance in this on her run behind Washington DC at Tipperary in April while Hot To The Touch was only beaten a length at Killarney last month. Varrane is a possible improver but FIRE TREE also appeals as the type likely to do better now going handicapping and he gets a tentative vote.
