Solid form in 6f maidens, rated 68, drop to 5f should suit, leading chance; blinkers

Improved efforts last twice, rated 69 and should be thereabouts, soft would be a query

16-1 and no impact on Curragh debut (leaned right), big improvement needed

Not far behind Arklow Lad at Down Royal latest, in the mix again today

0-10 and rated 34, not a bad handicap run latest but hard to fancy in maiden company
6 (2)	Miss Travers Bay J:Gary Carroll T:Joseph G Murphy	J:Gary Carroll T:Joseph G Murphy	129	—	3-0	-	74	50	26d	—	—	-1	3.1	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Well behind Arklow Lad and Snowballs at Down Royal, may improve but needs to
7 (4)	She's A Gift Bay J:Chris Hayes T:John C McConnell	J:Chris Hayes T:John C McConnell	129	—	0790	-	45	22	9d	—	—	-1	0.4	31.25/1	125/1 1%
Looks an unlikely winner on the evidence of four previous runs, hard to fancy

Heavy defeats both starts at long odds over further, seems safe to rule out
