Balnagon Boy won between the flags in June and was third on his debut under Rules at Killarney when Hawaii Five Nil unseated his rider. He shouldn't be far away while Forced Kin has two second from three starts on his record, though hasn't raced since May. Keith's Delight should improve on her third at Wexford and Saffron Wells showed definite signs of promise in decent company at Punchestown in April and should find a race this term. THEATRE MILL has an eye-catching NH pedigree and it would be no surprise to see Paul Nolan's newcomer in the shake-up. He gets the vote though a market move for Jim Bolger's debutant Faoilean would also have to be taken seriously.
