HEPBURN showed nothing as a juvenile and made her handicap debut at Dundalk from a very lowly mark. She attracted some support, however, and duly obliged in the style of a filly who can go in again. She has been raised 11lbs for that success and third-placed Great Realief is that much better off though unlikely to turn the tables on the easy winner. Fuerte Miramar showed some promise before producing a shocker in a Curragh handicap while Jim Bolger's Macnas looks the type to do better in her second season.
