WENDELL'S LASS has yet to hit the target but she was in the process of running a big race when exiting at the second-last at Punchestown last time, a race she may well have won had she stayed on all fours. The 6-y-o is taken to atone for that and get the better of recent Clonmel scorer Mount Shenshan. Cases can also be made for Goodie Girl and Slim Marvel.
