AIRLIE BEACH hasn't been extended in any of her five starts to date and though taking on better company and tackling the minimum trip for the first time she should make all and remain unbeaten before going on to bigger things. Shattered Love, a winning point-to-pointer and bumper, suffered her only defeat in a Grade 2 at Aintree where she wasn't beaten far. She reappeared with a comfortable success at Tipperary and won't go down without a battle, especially receiving 7lb from the selection. Rosshaven Lady wasn't far behind her at Tipperary nor behind Hello Sweetie at Cork in August and got off the mark at Clonmel last week in very good style. Little Folke was disqualified after finishing first past at Clonmel while Miss Eyecatcher makes her hurdling bow against strong opposition after completing a hat-trick in bumpers.
