BONNIE KELLIE proved that her decisive Punchestown success in January was no flash in the pan when third to Two Shoe Tom at Down Royal later that month. She enjoys a handy pull at the weights with that rival here, particularly with her rider's claim taken into account, and is taken to emerge on top. Golden Spear remains feasibly treated and is next on the list ahead of Kashi and Mastermind.
