Blew the start and not clear run at Roscommon; could go well given better luck in running

3 (14)	Pretty Boy Floyd Chestnut J:Shane Foley T:Sarah Dawson	J:Shane Foley T:Sarah Dawson	138	b	080200	61	74	50	14d	—	—	+3	6	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Quicker ground wouldn't have suited latest; mudlark needs rain
4 (7)	Soi Dao Bay J:Shane B Kelly T:Michael Patrick Fenton	J:Shane B Kelly T:Michael Patrick Fenton	136	b	005707	59	76	50	7d	—	—	-1	3.6	3.75/1	16 6%
Last week's Tipperary run was encouraging; could be approaching a competitive mark
9 (3)	Flag High Bay J:Donagh O'Connor T:John C Mcconnell	J:Donagh O'Connor T:John C Mcconnell	129	h	07006-	52	74	61	224d	—	—	-1	1.2	12.25/1	50 2%
Maiden now 0-12 and hasn't been seen since November; possibly best watched
