DARASAL WANE was sent off favourite over 6f here on Monday but never threatened despite finishing third. She won over today's longer distance at Sligo before that and is given a chance to make amends back over her best trip. Independent Girl is only 4lb higher than when scoring at Galway in July and can figure if handling the going, while the same comment applies to Oh What A Kitten and Noble Four, who both won on fast ground in the summer. Measured Approval looks a shade high in the weights now, but Dreams And Desires may do better on her handicap debut.
