Dedillon completed a double in the spring and bounced back to form when chasing home RED HEEL at Bellewstown. The winner then defied a 9lb rise to beat Fit For Function, who runs in the previous race, at Leopardstown and, though she has gone up another 6lb, Sam Ewing couldn't claim there and can utilise his 5lb allowance this time. Himalayan Beauty has been racing over further and not quite getting home so this should prove ideal while Fictitious Lady has come close to losing her maiden tag on several occasions, including at Killarney last time, and should be off the mark soon. Music To My Ears has been racing in better company and has been given a chance by the assessor.
