Jessica Harrington, whose juvenile fillies have been in sparkling form all season, has two entries. Ha'penny Bridge steps up from her maiden victory at Limerick while Punita Arora takes a big leap in trip after finishing runner-up to Air Force Jet in a strong Navan nursery over 5f. BLISSFUL has taken time to find her form but looked ideally suited by this trip when battling to victory at Tipperary and there looks more to come so she gets the nod. Lady Jane Wilde created a 66/1 shock when landing a Curragh maiden on soft ground though there was certainly no fluke about it. She was snapped up by a new owner and is now with John Oxx, though the going is a concern. Nurse Barbara made all for a comfortable victory over 6f at Cork and can only improve while Raven's Cry completed a double when scoring over a mile at Killarney though could also do with some rain.
