Liz Doyle looks to have found an ideal opportunity for LE VENT D'ANTAN to lose his maiden tag over timber. A winning bumper at Leopardstown, he couldn't cope with Sea Beat when odds-on at Naas last month but normal improvement should see him go one better. Mystical Dreamer was bought by Gigginstown after landing a Sedgefield bumper for Ronnie O'Leary and though running poorly for new connections at Gowran in January is much better than that. Zigger Zagger has been well beaten since his Fairyhouse bumper victory but Painted Lady looks a big threat as she hasn't been beaten far in her last three runs over timber and gets the mare's allowance. The four-year-old filly Circe's Island should be winning soon and is another in good form.
