Bronagh's Belle, a winner on the Flat at Leopardstown in June, couldn't get to grips with Caer on her hurdles debut at Sligo but the remainder were in another parish so she will make a bold bid to go one better. WINNER TAKES ITALL had just two runs on the level last year and made his hurdling debut at Galway in July where he ran very well behind Lethal Steps and may have won but for mistakes at the last two flights - normal progress can see him take this. Ciao, a dual all-weather winner but a maiden on Turf, started favourite for her debut over timber at Wexford but never really looked like winning, though still looks best of the remainder.
