Bennystiara was having only her third start when tackling this course and distance last month where she looked as though a longer trip would suit. The latter remark also applied to Butterflyvespiere, who was beaten 15 lengths into second at Wexford though had the remainder well beaten. Branson Missouri was fortunate to win between the flags at Tralee and easy Fairyhouse points winner Optional Mix was engaged at Clonmel yesterday. The four-year-old HANOI JANE was beaten 6 lengths when third over this trip at Limerick with the remainder a long way behind and can make her allowance count while fellow youngster Areutheoneiwant is one to keep on the right side on her hurdling debut.
