Plenty of these arrive in top form including Galtee Mist, who came here on Monday and gained a surprise but comfortable victory for which she carries a penalty. Smeaton scored at Nottingham for Roger Fell last month while Excuzio Joe confirmed her progress by scoring on heavy ground at Galway. Starting Monday had been running well before landing a maiden on the latter track while Mk Drama won easily at Gowran for which she's up 11lb. ECOEYE has returned in cracking form, scoring at Roscommon after a long break and gets the nod to return to winning ways after another fine effort behind Foreign Legion at Listowel.
