Difficult to see beyond the Elliott horse, Penny Jane, didn't win quite as easily as was perhaps expected at Perth last time out but still got the job done and the Willie Mullins-trained, MISS SAPPHIRE, who scored over hurdles at Wexford in May, before winning Kilbeggan novice hurdle over 3m1f last month.
