No wins from seven starts in Ireland for Claire O'Connell but a good effort at Dundalk (Polytrack) on penultimate start for that yard showed she acts on AW; subject of a gamble on her stable debut at Wolverhampton (also 6f, Tapeta; drawn wide) but she wilted late having had to put in an early shift; draw has not been overly kind again so interesting to see how she goes in the market this time.
