SAMBA DANCER has been quietly improving for each run and put in his best effort at Roscommon last time out. Given the paucity of talent among his rivals, this seems a fair chance for him to break his maiden tag. Tribal Story was a bit disappointing in his bumper outings but showed a liking for hurdles last time at Limerick and if able to build on that should go well. It Takes Time has been brought on slowly by connections and generally runs her race. She looks capable of landing a maiden hurdle at the very least.
