Winning point to pointer SOUTH CIRCLE probably did not have much to do to land a Thurles maiden earlier this month but did it in such style, overcoming several mistakes to win easily, that she should complete a quick double. Hannah's Lane had her jumping problems before reverting to the minimum trip at Thurles and producing her best run to date. That was her first start since May and a similar effort will see her in the firing line. Snaidhm has been running well without much luck and has gone up in the weights again while the assessor looks to have hold of Balofilo, who completed a double in September. Tb Broke Her has been running reasonably well over further though her only victory to date came over this trip.
