MISS PERNICKETY was placed five times in eight starts in bumpers and over hurdles but failed to win. She would have finished closer on her chasing debut behind stable companion Scarlet And Dove but for a bad mistake at the last and can finally lose her maiden tag. New Money was a dozen lengths away in sixth while Feyan, who had won a novices' handicap over hurdles at Cork three weeks earlier, finished a long way behind and also looks held. Something Sweet has had much more experience and her second place in a Fairyhouse handicap in October would make her difficult to beat but she's looking exposed and may have to settle for a place.
