Verdict
Fairy Flow was engaged to run here yesterday and Joanna Morgan's mare is in good enough form to be fancied for both contests. However, she finished behind PIMLICO SOUND when both ran well in the race won by Patrickswell at Navan late last month and though the latter is still a maiden this looks a good opportunity for him. The Hamptons has had 15 career starts and only been in the money once, when scoring on the sand at Laytown in September, but he still looks too strong for the remaining trio.
