Verdict

Hurricane Sky has completed a double over much shorter but shouldn't have many problems staying as he's run over hurdles. House Limit appreciated the fast ground at Fairyhouse and is only 4lb higher but it's MELANIPPE who looks the one to be on. Not surprisingly given a big ratings rise after her demolition job at Tramore, the only three-year-old in this line-up looks to have the scope to go on to better things. All About Timing battled to victory over 1m2f at Fairyhouse but should be even better suited by this trip and looks a threat along with Sian, who wasn't far behind that day on only her second start since October.
