KILKENNY STAR very much caught the eye making her handicap debut when fourth at Punchestown 5 weeks ago, sure to have finished a good deal closer granted a clearer passage, and she makes the most appeal off the same mark. Nell's Well has made an excellent start to the season and is next best ahead of Purdey's Gift.
