Plenty of these arrive in peak form but the progressive Listowel winner Sheer Bravado was engaged in the 3.00 at Tipperary yesterday so that result should be monitored. Ramiro has won his last two but will have to defy a further 7lb rise to complete the hat-trick. Limerick winner Dragon Of Malta failed to defy a 11lb hike in the ratings when behind Ramiro at Listowel but still ran well and is now 5lb better off. Ultra Pride and Myrcella were a little disappointing last time but Roundel has place claims again and Sea The Dawn may find improvement in first-time cheekpieces. FEARLESS GIRL has improved with every run and got off the mark in a maiden here last time. With a promising 7lb claimer in the saddle today, she can make a winning start in handicaps.
