Greek Flower came home first in a barrier trial here in August and has performed better than her form figures suggest on Turf. KARAKOUL had Lord Abama back in third when runner-up here a fortnight ago and there doesn't appear an apparent reason for a form reversal even over this shorter trip. Yester has now had fifteen runs without winning though was only beaten a short-head at Laytown last month. Mickey The Steel is 0-24 but has been placed eleven times and should get competitive again though a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Bua. Paddy Twomey's filly is very speedily-bred and her trainer knows how to get one ready.
