Fridaynightlights bounced back to form at Tramore last month on ground with some give but had earlier been beaten 10 lengths behind ROACHDALE HOUSE (NAP) in a Sligo handicap when only conceding 4lb. The latter ran well in a tough handicap at Galway a month ago and looks ready to score again. The once-useful Orgilgo Bay has lost his form though still has to concede plenty of weight but The Birdie Crowe has been going well and would have a chance if handling the conditions. All's Quiet was behind the selection at Galway though only weakened from the last.
