This shouldn't take much winning and ESCORT'NAMIX can get the job done. Gordon Elliott's mare was having her first start since arriving from the UK when placed at Killarney last week, with a subsequent easy winner behind, and normal progress can see her gain her first victory. Moll Date jumped poorly and failed to stay 3m at Tipperary but her close second over 2m4f on testing ground at Punchestown in February suggests she'll have no problems with this trip and she looks a threat. The remainder have shown nothing over hurdles and Thimbleweed carries a penalty for her two victories on the Flat as a three-year-old.
