GRADULATIONS couldn't get close to surprise winner One For Bobby when tackling 1m1f at Gowran but stayed on and the longer trip can see her off the mark. A Shin Undine was also running on strongly when runner-up on the same track but that was over 7f and this is a big step up in trip. Spartan Army and Lisadobber are both once-raced and returning after long breaks but are well worth noting in the market along with their stable companion Didn'thavemuchtodo, who makes a belated debut. Kirati Beach caught the eye on her debut over a mile at Limerick and Bridge Of Dawn will find this trip much more to his liking.
