ASTHURIA didn't look at her best at Punchestown on Wednesday so it's a surprise to see her out so quickly. She led for a long way but was soon done with after a mistake two out and is better than that bare form as she showed in much better company earlier. Thanks For Tea was caught in the shadow of the post at Killarney on Monday though that was over 3m2f and this looks on the sharp side. Miss Eyecatcher easily beat Ask Susan at Listowel in September though that was on heavy going while Teacher's Pet completed a double in the autumn and has run in much better company subsequently.
