Pat Smullen would have had to put up a couple of pounds overweight on YULONG GOLD FAIRY, who will be ridden by Killian Leonard. Dermot Weld's filly carries a feather weight due to her modest sales price and will have come on markedly for her run in what looked a decent maiden at Naas in which Ballot Box wasn't far behind. Verhoyen also made a bright start on the same track where he didn't appear inconvenienced by the testing ground. He'll find conditions very different here but there's no reason why he won't be suited. Willie McCreery remains in cracking form and his Holy Roman Empire filly Outside Inside is a full-sister to the smart Glorious Empire while Would Be King is a half-brother to a couple of decent all-weather winners.
