Telmesomethinggirl had the favourite Royal Kahala and Gauloise behind when landing the Grade 2 Dawn Run at Cheltenham in March for which she's penalised. She had earlier finished three lengths behind HEAVEN HELP US in a Grade B handicap at Leopardstown and is no better off with the winner, who then went on to make all in the Coral Cup at the festival. Paul Hennessy's mare didn't stay the trip in the Champion Stayers' here later but can return with another victory. Gauloise was in much better form after the Dawn Run and looks better than stable companion Dysart Diamond while Western Victory easily won a Gowran Listed contest last time.
