Misty Heights looks well up to the task

DERMOT WELD and Pat Smullen can combine to land the first two races at Tipperary this evening with the once-raced pair, Misty Heights and Favourite Nation.

Misty Heights gets the vote in the Irish Stallion Farms Maiden for fillies. The daughter of very promising stallion, Fasliyev, made an excellent start at Naas seventeen days ago.

She came with every chance at the furlong pole, but tired in the closing stages to finish a two length third behind Lord Admiral. The form appears solid considering fourth placed, Castledale, has won in the meantime. The selection has to tackle some interesting newcomers now, but looks well up to the task.
