Dinons bounced back from a fall at Bellewstown to easily land the odds at Roscommon and should continue on an upward curve. But SAPPHIRE LADY looks the one to be on with her mares’ allowance as the Listowel maiden winner ran well in a hot contest at Galway behind stablemate Calie Du Mesnil last time when Causey Arch was only fifth and Eamon High sixth. Percy Veer is still a maiden over timber and likely to remain so after this.
