ADMIRED BEAUTY resumed her progress when gaining a breakthrough success at Naas recently and with Billy Lee an eye-catching booking for the yard she is fancied to make a winning start to life in nurseries here. Snapequus also looks to have better days ahead of him, though, and rates a major threat, while City of Gold and Banks of The Boyne can have a say too in this intriguing nursery.
