SHES NO JOKE (NAP) has a poor strike-rate for a mare of her ability but can double her winning tally with a victory here. The form of her recent runs has been boosted and though she's never won on Turf this looks an ideal opportunity. The ground is the only real problem, especially as Lean And Kean gained his last success on heavy going at Leopardstown so he looks a danger. Marshall Jennings scored for Richard Hannon at Epsom on soft ground and he was staying on strongly over slightly further at the Curragh last time. He'll be winning soon while the lightly-raced Takeachanceonme has produced easily her best form on heavy going. Hurricane Twister landed a shock victory on testing ground at Listowel in May but couldn't handle a 7lb rise and quicker going at Killarney.
