Nathan Wells ran poorly at Thurles after a promising debut at Gowran while Joyau De Thaix's debut on the later track suggested he needs further. JOLIE COEUR ALLEN was having her first start since April and making her hurdling debut when narrowly beaten at Tramore and can go one better. She should face a strong challenge from Picture Of You, who just failed to get past Tactical Affair at Cork and should make further progress. Princess Preskina is related to a couple of winning hurdlers though may need further.
