A few of these have shown ability but have become disappointing. They include Dun Scaith, Ellaway Rose and Give Her Bach. Pale Face may do better when tried in handicaps as the four-year-old was a long way behind Saltmills Blackie at Tramore last month. Henry De Bromhead's gelding has a chance in this but LITTLE VINNIE was given a very patient ride on his racecourse debut at Down Royal and was noted staying on nicely in the closing stages. He can only improve on that and could get the better of the more-exposed types.
