Dermot Weld is trying his best to get a race out of CATALPA SAIL, who once again found one too good in Lightening Thief at Naas on Monday. Time will probably tell that it wasn't a bad effort and providing the race hasn't taken its toll he can finally get off the mark. Gemara disappointed over a mile at Killarney last time after a good effort over that trip at Bellewstown but may find this on the sharp side. Miss Windley ran very well behind Queen Of Spain at Naas though the winner won comfortably. Tracey Collins' filly can improve again while Admiraloftheboyne produced a better effort on ground with some give when just 4l behind Robin Hood at Galway and looks a threat.
