WILLY DE HOUELLE was turned over at short odds by Naturally Nimble in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse at the beginning of the month, but he impressed with the way he went through the race and is taken to reverse the form now that he meets that rival on 3 lb better terms in a refitted hood. Murcia ran to a useful level when opening her account by a wide margin in an Auteuil listed event in June and strong market support for her would put a slightly different slant on matters.
