Verdict
Derek O'Connor is likely to make the most of HERE'S JENNY's stamina as she looked a thorough stayer at Kilbeggan where the 2m3f trip appeared inadequate. With a strong gallop and softer ground his mount can beat off a likely challenge from Skiing In Tine, who has been looking one-paced on much faster going than she will face here and should be suited by the conditions. Paul Nolan's Knock Na Shee is related to winners and it would be no great shock if she were to prove a big threat so the market is best watched. Misty Weather didn't run badly on her debut at Tramore and with improvement expected can make a play for a minor berth.
