Boxing Along has won six times between the flags and shown a glimmer of ability over regulation fences. Company Coming looked a certain future winner when chasing home Bothair Clei over this trip at Tramore then found dropping down in distance against him at Clonmel. ROMANTIC FASHION, a winning bumper and hurdler, couldn't quite match the pace of the front two over slightly shorter at Gowran but was staying on at the finish and the extra quarter-mile can bring about her first victory over fences. Springbelle makes a quick reappearance after her run at Limerick on Sunday where she jumped deliberately and never really got going.
