BRAID BLUE will likely be a short price to follow up an easy debut victory at Kilbeggan, despite the penalty and drop in trip. Nearly There has been well beaten in both starts and former pointer Auntie Mary has a long absence to overcome but Dobits Society is worth a market check, though Juriste is a more interesting newcomer being a brother to a winning stayer on the Flat and a half-brother to three other winners.
