After scoring over 6f at Fairyhouse it was a surprise to see Laldie drop back to the minimum trip at Tipperary where he stayed on strongly behind a couple of in-form rivals after being outpaced early. Cheval Rouge beat School Holidays here last month but that was over a mile and both of her victories have been at that trip. BLAZE BRIGHTLY gained her first success in a maiden at Listowel a month ago and though that was over a mile she showed enough pace to suggest this trip will prove no problem. She can make good use of the weight she receives from Dundalk specialist Bashir Biyoum Zain and a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Coastal Waters, a decent fourth on her first turf start behind Humor Me Rene at Tipperary and the winner followed-up at Roscommon on Monday.
