Curley Bill has returned from a long absence seemingly none the worse, wining at Naas and going close over this trip at Roscommon from this mark. If three runs in a month don't find him out, he should be in there pitching once more. CLONGOWES was impressive last season, winning twice, and will be spot on for this after a spin around behind Order Of St George in the Vintage Crop. Jim Bolger's four-year-old may concede weight all round. Mawaany is on a good mark for his seasonal reappearance and can go well along with Tara Dylan.
