ELLONA was in the lead at this trip when tackling 7f on heavy ground at Gowran so looks set to gain her first victory from the same mark. She had Ty Rock Brandy behind and should confirm the form but Highly Approved was making good late headway over the minimum at Naas and will be suited by the extra. Art Of Unity was a 25/1 chance in a nursery at Naas last time but ran his best race to date and would have finished closer but for failing to get a clear run at a crucial stage. Rince Deireanach did a bit better last time and makes her handicap debut on a very lowly mark but Jango Fett was engaged at Dundalk last night.
