Kate Appleby Shoes won her last two bumper starts in impressive fashion but has taken time to find her feet over hurdles and only scrambled home in a Clonmel maiden. Magic Of Light couldn't hold the late challenge of Ask Susan at Thurles and had previously finished a long way behind THE GREEN LADY (NAP) at Punchestown. The latter was attempting to concede 20lb to Peace N'Milan at Fairyhouse next time and couldn't quite manage it but the winner has gone in again so the form looks useful. West Bridge found Grade 3 company much too hot at Fairyhouse last time after winning a maiden there.
