Day Day looked a likely future winner when twice runner-up last June but hasn't made the expected progress. LITTLE FOLKE was placed in her opening two bumpers before finishing first past on her hurdling bow at Clonmel in September but was disqualified after her rider struck the runner-up across the nose with his whip. She then ran reasonably well in a Grade 3 at Down Royal and though returning from a break should be good enough to get off the mark. Supreme One made a decent start at Wexford but didn't jump well here in December and was beaten when falling two out. It's difficult to work up any enthusiasm for the chances of the remainder.
