Thenandnow had some good form in maidens before winning a Curragh contest comfortably. Thereafter, she was tried in listed company, and although not able to cope with that class rise, she should have finished second on handicap debut. Therefore, Jessica Harrington's filly should be involved again. Watch Tower enters calculations after his Leopardstown success, though an 8lb rise asks more of him. Barbapapa may also bounce back now dropped in grade.
