HANKY PANKY missed a good opportunity last week and the classic entry will be very difficult to beat despite a surprise defeat by Mizzava at Limerick where she probably found the ground a bit too testing. She should make amends as Sharp Crisp Air was beaten a long way into second by An Saincheann at Gowran and the winner has been well beaten subsequently. Morga wasn't disgraced in a Listed contest at Navan last week and Jim Bolger's filly looks certain to have come on for that run but the remainder make little appeal.
