Verdict
Calico has now had a dozen races without winning but she's reliable at this level and receives weight from the penalised Flat winner HEATHER BEAR so is expected to be placed again. The latter completed a hat-trick on the level in the summer and made a very promising debut over timber at Limerick. Normal progress can see her go one better though Montys Rock showed definite improvement from his opening run when fifth at Cork and Vintage Gold is the type to make progress from his debut at Leopardstown. Highland King would be one to keep an eye on if getting a run.
