Letters Of Note made her debut in a strong maiden at Leopardstown in September and did well despite showing signs of temperament. She'll do better and though Maira couldn't cope with Plus Ca Change here in November it was another good run and she'll have benefited from the break. After a promising start over 6f here last month, PERIOD PIECE was a short-priced favourite on a return visit three weeks ago and though she had no answer when Charlie Bear swept past it was still a very good run from a poor draw and she can go one better. The expensive Deemah was a 50/1 chance when making her debut here in September, where she gave problems at the start. But she ran well enough and will have improved.
