Fairylike ran a shocker when fancied at Galway but would have a chance second to none on her two previous runs and may just have had an off-day. Sharnova ran quite well on her handicap debut at Down Royal and has more scope than most while Ajiaal was only run out of it close home at Wexford last time and looks certain to give a good account despite her big weight. GRAINNE WHALE, who finished just in front of her that day, was showing her first real sign of ability and with the extra furlong in her favour she looks the one to beat here. El Toreros was one of the few Dermot Weld runners to do badly at Galway but it could have been the first-time blinkers that caused the poor effort.
