School Holidays showed nothing in two starts last season but improved on her return to action when fourth behind Alsalwa at Naas. Whether she will be suited by the drop in trip is another matter but Strandhill appeared to find a mile stretching her stamina at Wexford after a better effort over today's trip at Tipperary. Boxer Beat showed some ability on polytrack last term while Such Abundance ran well enough over 5f at Dundalk last time to suggest he can make further progress. This shouldn't take too much winning, however, so Jim Bolger's newcomer SHOES TO MATCH, a half-sister to winners in the USA and out of a mare from a very strong USA family, is given the vote to make a successful racecourse debut.
