Art Scene, an easy winner over 7f at Tipperary, was due to run at Gowran last night with a favourite's chance so that result should be monitored as he would have obvious claims if taking his place in this line-up. Melanippe was also engaged at the meeting though she's looking high in the weights at present. Street Party has been running in slightly better company but has been struggling to make his mark and Stynes may have a better chance as though he was beaten nine lengths by Granny On Fire at Ballinrobe that was his first sign of form and the extra furlong will suit. HIGH HILL BEAUTY was a long way behind Melanippe at Tramore in June but did much better over a mile at Killarney a month later so, with Connor King's claim a real bonus, she's taken to gain her first success.
