Teacher's Pet has really found her form and defied a 9lb hike in the ratings to complete a double at Cork. She's up another 4lb and the concession of weight to MAGIC OF LIGHT may prove beyond her. Jessica Harrington's mare won a beginners' event over slightly further here and was disputing the lead when falling in a Listed contest at Clonmel so looks quite well treated on a mark of 123 for her handicap debut. Retour En France has more experience than most of these and was racing in strong handicap company after scoring over a longer trip here in February so she's respected as is Youcantcallherthat, who defied a last-fence error to land what looked a decent beginners' event at Cork.
