Ever So Cool, a winner for Dan Skelton in May, ran over fences at Thurles earlier this month and looks reasonably treated over timber. Winning bumper Dixie Flyer looked a likely future winner over timber when narrowly beaten in a Listowel maiden but disappointed on softer ground at Limerick. Clarens is improving rapidly and though it was heavy ground when he scored at Wexford his earlier success came on much quicker going. Although he's 9lb higher Jack Foley can claim an extra 3lb back. The Dasher Conway was the easy winner of what has turned out to be a very moderate maiden at Tipperary back in May but SIL VER KLASS is well treated if anywhere near back to form and gets the nod. Ricky Langford is generally thereabouts at this level and should get competitive again.
