REACHING is steadily progressing and was only caught on the line by I'm Sheikra at Naas earlier this month. She should have a bit more in the tank and Maude Adams, who was just over a length back in fourth that day, looks held as she had every chance. Romantic Stroll attempted to make all over a mile at Listowel last time but had no answer when One Fine Day cruised past at the furlong pole. Tommy Stack's filly should be better over this trip and looks the main threat. Fixed Gaze should have more to give and looks best of the remainder.
