Several of these arive here in winning form between the flags including MICKEY BLUE EYES, who gained two impressive victories under Mikey O'Connor at Dromahane last month. He had the useful Mayo Calling well beaten in the latter of those events and looks the type to continue on the upgrade in this sphere. Whatnow Whatnext is a youngster progressing nicely now that he has got his jumping together while O Crotaigh would have been unbeaten in his two point-to-points but for falling at Kilsheelan on his debut. The Flying Pencil won nicely at Kirkistown but will need to step up a gear as will the consistent Kilmurry Kid, though he's an excellent jumper who should be up with the pace throughout.
