FOOTPAD only just failed to hold off Punch Nantais in very testing ground at Auteuil in May and the winner has gone on to land a Grade 2 over fences. Willie Mullins' new recruit can take this before going on to better things. Tamisa, a moderate miler on the Flat, looks as though she'll do much better over timber after an encouraging debut at Limerick where she had much better fancied rivals behind. Lagostovegas is on the upgrade having scored on the level at Killarney in July before failing to hold Rashaan at Roscommon in August. The winner has since won again so the form looks strong. The Carbonator had some decent form on the Flat without managing a victory, a remark that also applies to Krissy's Kisses.
