The form of Robyndeglory’s maiden victory at Killarney was boosted by the subsequent victory of the runner-up. DONACHEADY GALE defied a very long absence to score easily at Ballinrobe in May so the fact that he hasn’t run since won’t be a problem. Ballywilliam Boy is generally to be found in better company but he’s only won once and looks vulnerable though he easily holds Rambranlt’jac on last month’s Listowel running. Perfect Attitude was well supported for a Clonmel maiden last month and defied an early blunder to justify the optimism so has to be respected with progress likely.
