Verdict
King's Jester is in the veteran stage on the Flat and doesn't win very often though his latest effort on the level at Wexford would give him a very good chance. The trip looks ideal for FAIRY WING and he gets the vote. Jessica Harrington's charge is still a maiden but his two latest efforts suggest he's ready to win soon and this isn't the toughest of races. Strut In Style appeared to find 7f too short at Tipperary after a good run over this C&D so she can get involved but Xsquared's one strong piece of form came on Polytrack and he looks a few pounds high in the weights.
