Kupa River has improved with every run and bolted up in a Listowel maiden last month. He may be better over a mile but the going won’t be a problem. Imagine If has done most of his racing over shorter trips but would have every chance at the weights. Focus On Heaven went close on her debut at Naas at this time last year and duly went one better at Fairyhouse on her reappearance. She’s got bags of scope and Hit The Silk made a promising start at Bellewstown in August. SORELLE DELLE ROSE (NAP) was just behind Focus On Heaven on debut but has made strides since and recent form at Gowran is the best on offer so she gets the nod.
