NEGRONI didn't shine in three starts in bumpers but this will be her game and she's likely to show marked improvement. Brave Way went for £160,000 at the sales after making a successful debut between the flags at Knockinroe and should start paying her way soon while Champagne Diva would probably have won at Clonmel with a better round of jumping. Toor Hawk was well suited by heavy going when defying her odds to finish a good fourth at Wexford but Red Iron, who won a Tramore bumper last month, couldn't justify strong support on her hurdling debut at Roscommon.
