Off the mark on first start for new yard when landing Bellewstown handicap over 1m early this month in first-time hood, racing prominently and getting up late for comfortable success; good chance of staying this longer trip on that evidence and although officially 2lb wrong here could well make a bold bid. |

Had looked fairly exposed but found more improvement last term and has carried that on with two excellent runs at the Curragh this spring, latest when third behind two progressive sorts over 1m2f; ground not being as soft as she'd like is one concern, as is a poor strike-rate for one of her ability. |

Rewarded for her consistency with a Gowran win in October (1m4f, heavy) before signing off with close-up fourth at Galway; took the Irish Lincoln by the scruff of the neck on return when trying to make all, giving way late to finish fifth; step up in trip will suit. |

Verdict
It might be worth taking a chance on TEN TO TEN who showed more on all-weather last time. He may come on for that first run in 10 months and he has a workable mark for his handicap debut. Tellthemi’mhere was running okay in maidens when last seen and can’t be discounted back in a handicap. My Little Tip might be the best of James McAuley’s four runners if he handles conditions.
