Both wins came here, latest seventh a small step in the right direction

6lb rise for recent win perhaps not as big a worry as inconsistency these days but feared
3	Red Ball Of Fire Bay J:Daniel King(5) T:Mark Michael Mcniff	J:Daniel King(5) T:Mark Michael Mcniff	162	b	80-216	114	122	107	15d	—	—	+3	21.2	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Has done all of her winning at Sligo, ground probably went for her at Galway, claims

Course form a worry but shaped well at Killarney on reappearance and shaper now
1	Royal Eagle Bay J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	166	—	4-1323	118	125	93	15d	—	—	-3	25.9	0.47/1	15/8 35%
Kilbeggan winner in May has posted fine runs in defeat in the interim, lots to offer
8	Contrapposto Bay J:Michael O'Sullivan T:R Donohoe	J:Michael O'Sullivan T:R Donohoe	150	—	/U410-	102	130	113	—	—	—	+7	24.8	1.13/1	9/2 18%

NR	Karens Gift Bay J:TBC T:P J Rothwell	J: T:P J Rothwell	150	p	1034-P	102	125	113	76d	—	—	+2	17.4	4.75/1	20 5%
Not a bad record over hurdles (2-13) and seems to handle the track well, place claims
6	Clever Currency Chestnut J:Sean Flanagan T:Paul W Flynn	J:Sean Flanagan T:Paul W Flynn	158	tp	046258	110	128	106	10d	—	—	+13	19.2	3.25/1	14 7%
Folded tamely enough at Cork, more than cabaple when on song but needs best
5	Tom Mcgreevy Bay J:James O'Sullivan(3) T:Liz Doyle	J:James O'Sullivan(3) T:Liz Doyle	159	ht	FF4-O0	111	128	78	40d	—	—	+13	16.2	6.00/1	25 4%
Goes well here and no surprise if connections had this mapped out for quite some time.
4	Pro Bono Bay J:Philip Donovan(5) T:C W J Farrell	J:Philip Donovan(5) T:C W J Farrell	159	tp	/2-515	111	121	83	57d	—	—	+16	19.6	6.75/1	28 4%
Maden winner struggled in novice company latest, should find this more suitable
11	Mizuma Bay J:Phillip Enright T:Vincent Laurence Halley	J:Phillip Enright T:Vincent Laurence Halley	143	t	000P2-	95	116	73	—	—	—	+13	16.1	8.00/1	33 3%
Overall profile could do with some spicing up, far from juming off the page
12	Milan Echo Bay J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Vincent Laurence Halley	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Vincent Laurence Halley	140	t	400P0-	92	62	34	363d	—	—	+9	11	16.25/1	66 2%
