BLUEBERRY FAYGO ran quite green on her debut at Naas late last month but still managed to only be beaten a head by the odds on favourite. The filly was quietly fancied that day and will certainly improve for the experience. A front-runner, she may have too much speed for her rivals in first-time blinkers. Revolutme is another speedy type who led for a long way on her latest outing at Roscommon. She may give the selection most to do while Miss Amulet is improving for each run and should be able to go close.
