THE worry with Skitter Scatter going into Sunday’s Group 2 Debutante Stakes at the Curragh was that the yielding ground would be softer than ideal for her.

It was a legitimate concern too. Patrick Prendergast’s filly is by Scat Daddy and she is out of the Street Cry mare Dane Street, whose best form for Jessica Harrington was on ground that was no worse than good to yielding. Also, Skitter Scatter’s previous two runs, the two best runs of her career by some way, were on good to firm ground.
