GOLD NECKLACE can gain her first success as she is progressing with every run and produced easily her best performance over just short of this trip at Limerick last month when she had Scooping behind. Nieve makes her handicap debut and didn't appear to enjoy the Polytrack last time so should do better but Royal Focus made a successful debut in a fast-ground claimer at Down Royal in September though hasn't shown much this campaign. Glance Of Doon takes a massive step-up in trip after staying on over 7f at Fairyhouse on Thursday while Punta Marroqui has never raced beyond a mile though her pedigree suggests she'll have no problems staying.
