Hopefully is on a long losing run but gradually dropping to a winnable mark while Christmas Jumper is running well and by no means badly treated. Dual Flat winner Auckland is 0-5 over timber but gradually getting closer while Yulong Voice can't have been right when favourite at Listowel as he was in excellent form going into the race. Where's Bunny's only success came over the minimum though she ran well enough over 2m4f at Gowran but the vote in an ordinary handicap goes to the lightly-raced REBELLE CHAUD, who returned from a break to run well at Clonmel and has more scope than most.
