Verdict
Flirt improved on her debut when third at Fairyhouse. Spinamiss was unfancied on her debut over 6f at the Curragh but kept on well inside the final furlong to finish second, suggesting this extra furlong would suit. Optimism And Hope is a half-brother to the versatile Equity Swap, though may do better next year over longer trips. Hot To The Touch's half-sister won over this trip but this can go to Dermot Weld's ORANGEY RED. She's owned by the Moylgare Stud and is nicely bred as her dam has produced winners with her first two foals - this looks a suitable starting point.
