ROSSCARBERY, heavily supported on her debut for Paddy Twomey in a Dundalk maiden, won easily and followed up in a Sligo handicap. Billy Lee had a bit up his sleeve that day so a 7lb rise looks manageable. Dedillon has been here four times and never won but followed some good runs at Dundalk with a comfortable victory under today's rider at Cork. Evening Verse was in fine form at Dundalk before staying on strongly over slightly shorter at Gowran while Empyrea looked one to follow this campaign after her Listowel maiden success in September, though the form of her yard is a concern.
