HAMLEY looked to have a good opportunity at Roscommon on Monday after just failing to concede So I Told You 6lb at Sligo but failed to get involved and may now do better stepping up in trip so gets another chance. Ebony Maw was always in the front rank and only just failed to hold Still Standing at Limerick in April while No Say Ever was an impressive course and distance winner last month so a 5lb rise doesn't look excessive though his rider claims 3lb less here. Morph Speed has only had three runs on Turf, scoring at Tipperary before an excellent run at Cork where he was staying on very strongly over that 1m2f.
