Military Hill has 4lb extra for landing a minor handicap at Hamilton on Sunday and prefers some cut in the ground. He was earlier over 3l behind DANEHILL QUEST in an apprentice's race over a mile at Killarney and the winner has only been raised 2lb. Gavin Ryan can use his full claim this time and Sheila Lavery's charge can continue on an upward curve. Divine Approach hasn't won yet but is gradually dropping in the ratings while Lizard Point is also a maiden though he's had 30 starts. Lady Boomerang battled hard to land a Killarney handicap over a mile then found heavy going against her at Listowel so she could have a say. Shadow Seven hasn't done enough in maidens to warrant consideration though his stable continues to fire in the winners. Easy Boy, Paddytheirishman, Let It Go Papa and Stealth were all engaged at Dundalk last night.
