Verdict
KISS FOR A JEWEL, who made a very promising debut at Galway in October, was just beaten on fast going at Naas then was expected to lose her maiden tag over this trip at Navan but didn't get going until too late. She wasn't far in front of the more exposed Guinevere but should confirm the form and take this. Flowering Peach has been a big disappointment since her debut at Leopardstown in October though there's still time as there is for Bandiuc Eile. The latter is the obvious form pick on her superb second to Skitter Scatter in a Curragh Group 2 but she was well beaten by that winner later and ran a shocker on her reappearance at Dundalk in March. Angel's Amy made a very promising start when beaten a neck on her debut here earlier this month and normal progress will see her in the firing-line. Aprils Joy was engaged in the 6.15 at Limerick yesterday.
