CLOSE ENOUGH was back to something like her best when a close second at Wexford and with that form having been franked, she's taken to bounce back from her subsequent disappointing run. Mother Ship showed promise when third at Sligo and first-time cheekpieces could see her to better effect than last time, while Gaoithe Glory may have more to offer now handicapping and is one to note for market support.
