Miss Jabeam ran well enough on her second start at Naas but didn't last out when stepped up to 6f there last month so should do better back over the minimum. WILD BOB CAT had been racing over 6f before tackling this trip here last time and where she couldn't quite go the pace when push came to shove. However, this won't take much winning and she should be good enough. Fancy Footings made his debut over 6f at Ayr where he showed good pace then found 7f stretching his stamina at Down Royal. His stable companion Clonard Abbey has also been fading over the latter trip after showing good speed while Espirit D'Escalier weakened from 2f out over 6f here last week. Esprit de Lumiere may prove best of the remainder in a very low-grade opener.
