Verdict
Indian Fairy looked as though she would be better suited by a stiffer test of stamina when runner-up over 2m2f at Punchestown. She is very closely matched with Shuilamach on that run and the latter may come out on top over this shorter trip. Mimi And Bow has won between the flags and is another likely to be suited by further in time and YOUNG AMBITION ran so well on her debut over this C&D last month that she's given the nod. She was always in the firing-line that day and only just failed to grab the spoils from Girl In Blue, who runs in the opener, so this looks within her capabilities. Nouveau Moulin showed some improvement at Cork and may do best of the remainder.
