Ajmera and Simiyna will probably be thereabouts again without being quite good enough and Encantador is also looking exposed. Others have more scope including Laughifuwant, second in maidens at Gowran and Listowel and far from disgraced at the Curragh in between. Having failed to land the odds over 1m2f at Roscommon, ANCESTRAL also started favourite over a mile last time at Listowel. She only managed fourth but there should be more to come from Ger Lyons’ well-bred filly and maybe a further drop in distance and a pair of blinkers can help her get off the mark. King’s Field is worth a second look if attracting market support as his stable is in peak form and there was some promise in his belated debut at Navan.
