Insinuendo made a belated winning debut at Gowran in September and found an extended 7f at Tipperary much too short on her reappearance. SILENCE PLEASE, a debut two-year-old winner, also scored first-time-out at Navan last season landing a Listed contest. She continued in good form at a high level and can make a successful reappearance. Her stable companion Sacred Rhyme was beaten over 4 lengths by High Heels on her debut at Cork in September but the latter's yard may have a better chance with Willow, though prospective punters would need to forgive a very disappointing run at Navan. Thunder Kiss needs to step up on her victory in a 1m4f Dundalk handicap.
