Several of these ran in a similar race over 7f here a month ago when SENSE OF STYLE finished third behind shock winner Keeper Of Time. Joan Of Arc did best of the remainder in sixth with More Beautiful, who didn't get the clearest of runs, in ninth and both Hazel and My Generation further behind though the latter was also impeded at a crucial stage. Fantasy Lady had beaten the selection a short-head in a Curragh Listed race in October but didn't impress on her reappearance at Naas and will need to do much better. Acanella was impressive in a track and trip maiden last month while the beautifully-bred Shandra looked one to follow when landing a Curragh maiden in August.
