UNYIELDING showed potential in a light campaign on the Flat and on his debut over hurdles at Naas. He'll have come on for the experience and gets the vote. Redcar winner Azamesse has been well beaten in both starts over timber and looks as though she needs further. Our Lizzie ran well for a long way in a decent maiden at Gowran a fortnight ago when Traditional Dancer, Last Garrison and Lake Shore Drive were well beaten but Gordon Elliott's French recruit Calin Des Ongrais was beaten a long way on his debut for the yard at Punchestown on New Year's Eve. The latter should do better while another recruit from France, All Souls, won on the Flat at Fontainebleau in September and has a smart pedigree.
