FormscanBy Gary Carson - TAKE TEA may improve from her initial outing over hurdles and looks good enough to land a race of this standard. The Flemensfirth mare was an impressive bumper winner first time out last season before a solid enough run to finish sixth behind Grangee in a Grade 2 contest at the Dublin Racing festival. She made her hurdling debut against another classy stablemate when fifth behind Brandy Love at Naas last month. She was challenging for second when making a slight mistake two out then and wasn't great at the last either. That experience should stand to her. Mollys Glory ran well in a decent novice contest at Thurles last month, behind Lunar Display, and a repeat of that would see her bang there. Eyre Square had some solid form last year, winning a bumper and being placed on several occasions. She would be a contender if stripping fit on her return.
