This looks between INDIAN FAIRY and Do Na Paisti with preference for the former. Eoin Doyle's mare was having her first start since December when a close third to Hell Cat Maggie at Clonmel last month and followed with a narrow defeat over 2m4f at Ballinrobe where she led at today's trip. She should just have the edge over her chief rival, who was in very good form late last summer but was well beaten on her return from a long absence at Wexford in May. It's difficult to get excited about the remainder but Katie Lu did a bit better on her reappearance here last month and should snatch the minor place.
