FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Dropped to six furlongs HELLO BRIGETTE came good and in style last time, at Wolverhampton on December 27th. The Racing Post analysis of that race went as follows: "Hello Brigette, who had shown early speed in her first two starts over 7f, found this trip ideal. In front before the end of the back straight, she just pulled further and further clear and can win something rather better over this trip." Michael O'Callaghan meanwhile said in the aftermath: "It's important for a filly with a pedigree like hers to win as a 2yo and that was the main agenda - there were no races left at home. Dougie (Costello) gave Hello Brigette a lovely ride and made the most of her stride. She's a lovely filly." The Curragh-based handler had sacrificed a traditional Christmas to ensure his two runners made it to Wolverhampton with time to spare. Christmas dinner was a turkey sandwich at his temporary home of the racecourse hotel but it was a small price to pay as he saddled a first and second from two runners. "We've been here since Christmas Eve. There were no boats on Christmas Day so we had to come early. We had turkey sandwiches in the Holiday Inn for Christmas dinner but it's well worth it now. We've had a great couple of days," further explained O'Callaghan. Kareless and Tell Me are outsiders, but cases can be built for the others.
