In depth
Verdict
Araner's opening runs were full of promise but he was soon beaten behind Eisenhower at Cork last month and this looks just as tough. The front-running Laharde has been showing good pace over 7f before dropping away so this should prove ideal but this can go to FAIRY FLUTE. She made a bright start in a strong maiden at Naas last summer and didn't return until last month where she showed up well behind Penny Pepper at the Curragh. Fort Del Oro appreciated the testing ground when just touched off over this trip at the Curragh earlier this month and she's another to consider in a stronger than usual maiden in which Ardhoomey can be given a chance after an unlucky run at Fairyhouse on Thursday.
