DROMBEG DREAM signalled intent when just beaten in a heavy ground nursery over a mile at Listowel before coming good in no uncertain terms at Cork. A 6lb rise doesn't look excessive and she can complete a double. Damselfy landed a 5f Down Royal maiden and hasn't disgraced herself in much better company over further subsequently. My Silver Nails gained a deserved success in a Curragh nursery and has raced in better company since while Lisard Lady didn't run badly in a lucrative sales race at Naas after making a successful debut in a Down Royal maiden. Miss Zizi's short-head defeat in a big field at Fairyhouse would give her a chance though she didn't run as well in a nursery at Naas next time. Jim Bolger had a very strong hand at the early stage and relies on Realtin Geal, who hasn't shown much in maidens but could be suited by easier ground conditions.
