KERMIYA showed much-improved form when a length third on her handicap bow at Navan 12 days ago and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark with further progress on the cards. Chatterbox was only just denied off this mark at Killarney last time and is next best ahead of the versatile Golden Sandbanks.
