Three miles around here on heavy ground is no picnic but it shouldn't be a problem for JOHNNYS GIRL (NAP) who can follow up her victory at Limerick. Norman Lee's mare was well supported that day when her stamina came into play in very testing conditions and a 6lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent her scoring again. The runner-up has won subsequently but the third Miracle In Medinah and fourth Ice Cool look held. It's a very long time since Flynsini won while Dubai Devils is still higher in the weights than his last victory two years ago.
