Verdict

Fairylike finally got off the mark at Ballinrobe earlier this month but this looks a stronger contest and she's 16lb higher in the weights today. Ger Lyons' stable is going well and Printmaker could be interesting back over a shorter trip, while Betrothed and Extra Steps come here off the back of wins at Naas and Dundalk respectively and can't be ignored. WORDS OF WISDOM also arrive here in good form, however, and is still on the upgrade. He can win his first race away from Leopardstown.
