SUMMER ISLES had never reached a place in 13 starts, including five on Polytrack, before a comfortable victory at Bellewstown. Whether that was a fluke or not we'll find out but a repeat performance would see her very difficult to beat. Big Bad Lily invariably runs well without quite managing to get there but she's been given a chance by the assessor and looks a threat. Under Review hasn't run over a trip this short for over two years but Better Value, another who takes a big drop in trip, showed her first worthwhile form when dropped to 6f at Naas last time.
