Blairmayne has improved to complete a double in fast-ground handicaps at Fairyhouse this month but a 12lb rise could put the brake on his progress. TWIN FALLS' second to Raymonda at the Curragh in October is strong form is the winner reappeared with a convincing victory earlier this month. She hasn't run since Dundalk in December but looks the type to do well this season and gets the nod. Flowerhill Nova has yet to win but she's been in fine form and was only caught in the dying strides by Camellia Japonica at the Curragh last time. Jowana has qualified for a mark after three runs where she's shown enough promise to suggest she'll be winning soon.
