FormscanBy Donal Murphy - RED BALL OF FIRE is two from two at Sligo and she might be able to strike here for local trainer Mark McNiff. Twice successful over flights at the Cleaveragh circuit, the Canford Cliffs bay has yet to win under Flat rules. Fifth on her most recent effort at Downpatrick, it'll be disappointing if she can't get a bit closer now with just eight stone two on her back. Play By The Rules has some solid form to his name and perhaps the application of first time cheekpieces will bring about the desired improvement. A dual winner last season, Malayan failed to make an impact on her return to action at Naas, but she warrants respect taking a drop-in class. Dreal Deal, who is of course a Grade 2 winner over flights, Jessica Harrington’s Shona Mea and recent Gowran fourth Lucky Number are others for the shortlist in this competitive contest.
