OTTAWA FIRE caught the eye in his 3 qualifying runs at Dundalk and looks very interesting now moving into handicap company on his first outing for new handler Johnny Murtagh. Miss Adventurous didn't take to hurdling last month but is a player based on the form she showed when second at the Curragh on her latest Flat run. Summer's Dream, who has gone well fresh before, is also back on a good mark.
