SMALLCRAFTWARNING did well to finish in the frame having come from further back than the other principals at Listowel last week and now racing back from his 'proper mark' John Ryan's 9-y-o gets the verdict to regain the winning thread. Watching The Clock heads up the dangers having gone close at Wexford back in the spring, with West Is Awake and Roc My Haarth another couple worth considering, too.
