Easy Limerick maiden winner Sit Down Lucy jumped poorly in novice company at Punchestown next time but Kevin Sexton keeps faith with her despite being the regular partner of the stable's Butterflyvespiere. The latter won a Downpatrick maiden by 12 lengths last time and looks very progressive. Call Me Dolly hadn't shown much in maidens but made a winning handicap start at Punchestown where she just held on in a huge field. She's up 7lb while Presenting Bonnie has thrived on good going and has been raised 8lb for completing a double at Kilbeggan. GETAWAY QUEEN was in excellent form at Dundalk in the spring and returned to hurdling with a victory at Wexford in a bunch finish. She'll enjoy the conditions and can score again though none of the bottom trio can be dismissed in a tight handicap.
