19.30 Roscommon: Balmont Flyer @ 11/1 VC - 2pt win
Never one or placed on the flat, never won over todays trip - not exactly encouraging. But there are some encouraging signs still. Mostly his most recent performance at Fairyhouse when he had an awkward start and had to take up a less than ideal position in the field. He travelled well enough for a long time and seemed to be in with every chance over 2f out, however didn't get any run whatsoever being locked there on the inside rail. He made late progress when in the clear, without being any nearer than sixth in the end. He gets another pound off the mark and is extremely well handicapped now in my mind as he showed some promise last year of much higher in hot and competitive handicaps on Turf, most notably off a mark off 70 in a big Leopardstown handicap. The good ground should certainly help, so should the assistance from Wayne Lordan in the saddle.
