Richard O'Brien is beginning to make a name for himself and Bianca Minola was another fine advertisement for the yard when scoring at Cork on Saturday. That was her first start for the stable and a 6lb penalty shouldn't be too much of a burden. CURLEY BILL (NAP) hasn't had much racing for his age and was returning from a two-year absence when scoring over a trip too short at Naas. He's up 7lb but looks capable of scoring from higher marks than this. Nightly Wailing gained the first victory of his career at Dundalk but that was over 2m and this looks too short. Ace Of Diamonds didn't crack on after scoring at Leopardstown last April but is back on the same mark while Boom Or Bush won't mind the conditions and will be better for last month's reappearance.
