FormscanBy Gary Carson - MARISTELLA went up 11lb for her victory at Galway but there looks to be more to come from the lightly raced daughter of New Bay. She had a couple of nice maiden runs, including chasing home Rosscarbery on her debut, before making a successful start in handicap company at Ballybrit. That was just her third outing and she still looked a touch green when hitting the front turning for home before pulling away late on. It was a strong contest last time and she had several subsequent winners in behind. Stepping up another furlong looks like it should suit Perfect Thunder who ran on well to finish second at Fairyhouse last time. She is just a pound higher now. Easter Wind is another who was narrowly denied last time and has to be respected having also only gone up a pound.
