Estepona Sun is proving hard to place and, along with Qatar Spirit, carries a penalty for winning on the Flat. Nikini’s win in a Ballinrobe bumper has also cost her 7lb extra but she could prove a cut above the majority of these if taking to hurdles. SPICK AND SPAN looked to be travelling like a winner when falling heavily at Ballinrobe last month. She’s having a rare run away from that track today but deserves another chance. Freddie Robdal has placed three times over timber but does look one-paced.
