Oscars Business certainly improved between the flags winning three of her last four and falling in the other. She's very much bred for chasing, however, and could be done by one with Flat speed. Leah's Dream was disqualified for an irregularity after finishing first past the post at Listowel in September before well beaten at Galway and Misty Weather finished tailed off at Punchestown after a very good run here earlier. SOMEDAYSOMEHOW will need a thorough test of stamina which she may just get and her run behind Andunowhat at Punchestown last month points to her taking this under Gary Mangan.
