Hestian had An Ghalanta two lengths behind when making a winning debut at Naas and is better off at the weights. However, he has since flopped on soft going over 6f at York while Jim Bolger's filly has improved and her recent defeats have come in better company over an extra furlong. She looks a big threat to all but those who witnessed the stunning victory of LIMETREE LADY at Cork are unlikely to hear of defeat as she looked destined for much better things that day. Angels Art makes her nursery debut on a fair mark and has shown good speed in all three races to date.
