6	Wasn't far behind a fair sort in a Roscommon maiden this time last year. Best effort since when bumping into one on return to that track (good) latest, staying on to take second on line despite lugging right. Fancied to go well, especially if forecast strong pace and rain materialises. 1st Pick 6 Cool Summer (Ire) Jockey: Sean Flanagan Trainer: Miss Hilary Mcloughlin, Ireland J: Sean Flanagan T: Miss Hilary Mcloughlin, Ireland	97	-	-	-	20%

4	Sole success came in this corresponding event in 2024. Now back on his winning mark following a pipe-opener at Limerick (returning from 13 months off) last month. Should make a bold bid if back to his best. 2nd Pick 4 The Vegas Raider (Ire) Jockey: S. Fitzgerald Trainer: K. A. Heffernan, Ireland J: S. Fitzgerald T: K. A. Heffernan, Ireland	100	-	-	-	7%

3	Off the mark on reappearance at Downpatrick in March before improving to finish second at Limerick (had subsequent winners behind on both occasions). Has been freshened up following a couple of lesser efforts in May and every chance if back on song. 3rd Pick 3 Let Him B (Ire) Jockey: P. Byrnes Trainer: Charles Byrnes, Ireland J: P.
