Tartlette won over track and trip last month but is 10lb higher for her troubles so EASTER ORCHID gets another chance. The latter was placed over a longer distance when sent off favourite at Bellewstown on her handicap debut and first start in a tongue-tie and there should be more to come from her. Kalanoura and Taliyna share ownership and both step up from a mile now handicapping for the first time while Lighthouse Lady has a shout back over today’s distance if forgiven a below-par effort at Gowran last month.
