Verdict
MATTIE'S MOUNTAIN overcame trouble in-running to score at Fairyhouse and should make a bold bid to defy a 7lb rise. Satin Sun was well supported at Thurles and ran easily her best race to date while Philip Fenton has his horses in good form and Zaccarela should be suited by dropping back in trip after leading for most of the way over 2m3f at Fairyhouse. Dragon's Pass beat a big field at Navan for which a 6lb rise doesn't look excessive but Feyan is yet to win in 14 starts. Delirious Love is 10lb higher than when landing a Fairyhouse handicap on his penultimate start.
