AN CHULAINN looked a sure-fire future winner after finishing third in a valuable sales race at the Curragh in August but has been beaten twice since over 7f. Dropping back in trip may help her cause and she is given a final chance to get off the mark as Jacquotte Delahaye has proved even more disappointing after a promising start and is now blinkered. Excellent View is a full sister to a two-year-old winner and, though making a belated debut, can't be ignored while fellow newcomer Rose Boeuf is worth noting for future reference.
