A first taste of success could be the cards for SIGHTS UNSEEN, who was doing her best work at the finish when fourth in a big-field 2m Clonmel handicap last time, leaving the strong impression that this step back up in trip would be in her favour. Low-mileage 5-y-o Butchers Bill could be the one fo follow her home, though Our Zebo, who proved 11 lengths too strong for the re-opposing Mother Ship at Tramore, is also high on the shortlist.
