GLAMOROUSLY (NAP) has progressed throughout the campaign and today's rider was on board when she initiated a double in a Navan nursery. Jessica Harrington's filly then landed a much stronger event at Naas and a hat-trick beckons. Sun Never Sets finished three lengths behind Basilah Bear at the latter track but was much more at home in testing conditions at Bellewstown. Jim Bolger's horses are running well and Sli Na Ghealai was a comfortable winner at Down Royal and won't mind the conditions. Tai Tam Bay wasn't beaten far in a strong Cork nursery before slightly disappointing at Dundalk.
