DONEGAL TUESDAY had shown only glimmers of ability before turning a Gowran handicap into a procession just over a week ago. The assessor has reacted with an 11lb rise but she's probably still ahead of the handicapper and can complete a quick double. Boru Boy, a dual point-to-point winner, landed a Cork maiden in good style in January and looks likely to make further progress and though Cork maiden winner Making Shapes hasn't run since July that's hardly a problem for one of Charles Byrnes' and he should be kept on the right side. Stolberg had He Is Top Class back in second when scoring here last April and is back on exactly the same mark. Oscars Den won three of his four starts for Tim Vaughan and though he hasn't run for almost three years he's one to note for the coming weeks.
