CEOL RUA had been going well enough over the minimum trip before stepping up to 2m2f and beating Shadow Eile narrowly in a Listed contest here in January. The runner-up is 3lb better off but the winner had a bit in hand and can confirm the form and take this. Dressedtothenines had beaten Noras Fancy easily in February so can't have been at her best when the latter reversed the form at Limerick last month. She's expected to do better and will need to as both Madam Bovary and Oscars Business finished in front of her and the former in particular looks a very nice prospect.
