Bracebridge Hall made his debut in a strong Fairyhouse maiden on heavy going last month and stayed on late once getting the hang of the job while War Hero ran easily his best race in a first-time visor here last week and it wouldn't take much more to go one better. BELLA SIGNORA was a 50/1 chance when attempting to make all over 7f here earlier this month and only succumbed at the furlong pole. Normal progress can see her take this. Downtown Diva had shown a modicum of ability before dropping back to the minimum here where she was always in the firing line and stayed on well. Snow Patch was up with the pace for a long way over 7f here in September and looks certain to improve.
