It's impossible to fault the consistency of Gentle Noel but whether the five-year-old is still improving after eight runs has to be debatable. The form of Shabra Charity's second at Downpatrick may not amount to much but Moment Of Destiny suggested she retained some ability when third at Galway and the grey Ardnavalley didn't fare too badly when stepped up in grade last time. Charlie Swan's STEP RIGHT UP improved markedly for her first run over timber when just beaten over C&D last month, however, and there may be more in the locker.
