SAPPHIRE LADY made the perfect start to her chasing career after 18 months off when comfortably making all at Thurles. She looks a force to be reckoned with in these sort of races and can double her tally here. Western Victory will look to put her chasing experience to good use but may have to settle for silver, ahead of Mount Ida, who caught the eye under a considerate ride a fortnight ago.
