Misty Lady created a real shock when landing a Fairyhouse handicap from today's rival Caitlin Brook but couldn't cope with a 7lb rise in the weights at Thurles and the runner-up can take her revenge. It was very fast ground when Pestal And Mortar gained her only success at Wexford in July and she has very different conditions to contend with. SARAH BATTLE has as good a chance as any in an open contest. She landed a Clonmel handicap in May on soft ground and has only had four subsequent runs, showing that she could score again when a close fourth to Mini Vic at Tramore on New Year's Day. Tillargon was having his first start for over a year when fourth to Gold Not Silver at Down Royal a couple of weeks ago and that should have brought him on enough to get involved.
