Love Is The Key was fancied at Gowran on Tuesday after a superb effort at Limerick but didn't handle the heavy ground and was well beaten. Sleepytimegirl has progressed with each run and there was plenty to like about her close third behind Our Conor in a big field at Naas. She looks certain to go well but may find GOLDEN ACORN just too strong. Andy Oliver's filly makes her handicap debut and was a little disappointing at Ballinrobe last time but she possibly found the 1m1f just stretching her stamina and had done much better over this trip at Leopardstown previously. California Rose had shown absolutely nothing before a much improved run behind the in-form Stocktons Wing at Navan and a repeat of that would see her go very close.
