Oromo has been in double-winning form on the Flat recently and Rachael Blackmore is a positive booking. Six-times hurdles winning Fleurys Fort has run well the last twice though finished behind Winsor Vixen at Kilbeggan last month and the latter, who was having her first start for new connections, should make a bold bid to lose her maiden tag. Naturally Blond is on a very long losing run and a strike-rate of 2-52 doesn't inspire confidence but he has run well the last twice and was only beaten a short-head at Tramore. MY LOVELY BOY, another maiden, finished in front of him when they occupied the places at Tipperary so the latter gets the vote with his rider's claim a huge bonus. Any money for Seaboard, lurking at the bottom of the handicap and having his first start for Emmet Mullins, should be noted.
