This looks a soft Grade 2 as Corbetts Cross won a maiden and a three mile Fairyhouse handicap before changing yards. Those victories were on very testing ground and conditions are likely to be quicker here. Winning point-to-pointer Found A Fifty made most to land a Fairyhouse maiden over this trip convincingly. There's more to come and he may be better suited by the trip than the likely favourite. Walk With Paul made all for a very easy success in a Limerick maiden but LILY DU BERLAIS can take this. A Grade 2 winning bumper, she couldn't get close to Fun Fun Fun at a similar level over timber at Leopardstown but gets 7lb from the principals and that may prove enough. Jackpot De Choisel will find this rather more competitive than when scoring at Ayr by 32 lengths.
