Dancingwithangels didn't go up a massive amount for completing a double in minor class but it was enough to prevent a hat-trick and she's gone up even further. Face Value needs further but Ceylon ran very well on her comeback at Limerick and can race from the same mark. CAILINI ALAINN's second to Katie T at Leopardstown in October was a very good effort and she was thought good enough to contest a Listed contest on her reappearance. She was in contention for a long way in that and, though eventually well beaten, this represents a big drop in class. Papa's Way has really struck form and, though his recent victories have been over shorter, he has no problems staying this trip and should make a bold bid.
