Formscan By John O'Riordan - Second to a subsequent Listed winner at the Curragh on her penultimate start, MALLAVELLY(4) can go one better. Having again run a solid race when third upped to a mile last time, the Ger Lyons-trained mare should appreciate dropping back a furlong. A lightly-raced daughter of New Bay, Rebel Wave looks open to further improvement. Off the mark at the Curragh last month, the form of that race has already been boosted. Rion Rubette shouldn't be ruled out despite a poor recent effort at the Curragh.

Quotes on Rion Rubette (GB)
She did it lovely. I was a bit worried if she was going to get there, but she ground it out real well and she knew where the line was. . She seems to really be getting a liking for Gowran. It's not that far away from us, so I'd say that's a big help to her. She's tricky enough when travelling and at the races. . Hopefully, if she is all right in the morning, she is entered in the Curragh Derby weekend in the fillies' handicap on the Saturday evening - if she's okay, touch wood she goes there.

Quotes on Mallavelly (IRE)
We're delighted with both fillies and James got a great feel from Mallavelly today. They went a good strong gallop, she loves that top of the ground and loves that distance. She is progressing all the time and obviously with fillies, the objective is to get blacktype. She is a little off it yet but that would be the ultimate aim. Unfortunately Empress Artemis keeps getting put up for finishing second so is detrimental to her own success. She is very genuine but we might now drop her back slightly in distance.

Quotes on Pretty Omagh Girl (IRE)
She had a couple of nice runs last year, but is a filly who we just held on to. Ben said she relaxed in front, that she jumped out as nothing was going on and it was a good performance. I was surprised as I thought she would need the run but she jumped well, got a nice position and just kept going. She had lovely runs last year but took a bit of settling and Ben did a good job with her today and knew what he was doing.

Quotes on Thrifty Of Digby (IRE)
She’s some tough, brave, filly. She wasn’t going to get beaten, she kept on putting her head down. They took her on early on as well. She really is great. She only got it on the nod and for once it’s gone the right way for me!. She’s actually in the online sale, but we might keep her now. She loves Roscommon and here, and she goes from seven furlongs to a mile-and-a-quarter. There might be another day in her but she’s getting her rating up now.

Quotes on Rebel Wave (IRE)
I'm delighted with that. She did nothing wrong in Limerick and has come on from that. If you don't win the next day, you're going backwards. She's won and I thought she fought well there to win. She's a hardy filly and she tries, she's going the right way. She loved the ground there. The last day was soft ground, today was quick ground. I'm happy with that. We'll keep her in a fillies' handicap or look around for a bit of black type. We won't run her too often because she's not an over-big filly, but she tries very hard.
