Robin Gold found massive improvement to land a Thurles maiden handicap then showed it was no fluke a week later at Clonmel. She's 9lb higher which makes this much tougher with WILD DESIRE an obvious danger after an impressive victory over the course and distance. The latter has gone up 10lb but won very easily and can complete a double. Gambling Mistress has yet to win or face testing conditions but another maiden, Midland Millie, looked a major improver when caught close home over 2m2f on soft ground at Galway. Rachael Blackmore, who rode her, is on board Clonmel maiden winner Rebel Early who will be better for her return to action here early last month.
