The lack of a recent run is a worry for supporters of Massa Lubrense and All The Mollies. Scream was well beaten at Galways after winning a maiden at Bellewstown but Pari Passu travelled strongly for a long way at Gowran last month and this drop back in distance could be a plus. Aubineau’s form figures disguise the fact that he’s a consistent sort and he’s due a change of luck but TOUGH SPIRIT took a step forward to land a fillies’ maiden at the Curragh last time and she’s the type to improve again now she’s got her head in front.
