Sharliyna made a successful debut at Leopardstown in August so the lack of a recent run shouldn't be a problem and her later efforts were on unsuitable testing ground. Truffles won a Fairyhouse maiden before being outclassed in much better company while her former stable companion Orangey Red made an encouraging return at Naas though could do with some rain. ELUSIVE APPROACH went up 9lb after completing a double at Dundalk but only just failed to hold off Shannon Soul at Limerick last weekend. She's up another 2lb but is performing so well than she can return to winning ways. Midnitemudcrabs is the only course and distance winner and could go well at a big price.
