10/3

3/1, confirmed previous promise when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good) 15 days ago, effort after 2 out and staying on to lead close home. Did well to prevail having been left with a lot of ground to make up and she's of firm interest again.

TOWNHILL PENNY confirmed the promise of her previous run and was deserving of extra credit having been asked to make up plenty of ground to open her account at Downpatrick 2 weeks ago. She can defy a 5 lb higher mark, with Appian Way in first-time blinkers, Western Dreaming and Micky Shea heading up the dangers.
