In depth

Verdict

Dolce Sicily was a 33/1 chance for a Fairyhouse maiden in June but defied the odds by making all. The runner-up has been well beaten subsequently so a mark of 77 may prove a bit high. ERLKING looks a typical nursery type from the yard and can get off the mark with his rider's claim a real bonus - he holds stable companion Cobb And Co on their latest run. In From The Cold never looked like getting to the leaders over 7f at Galway on Saturday but stayed on very strongly so could find this on the short side. Yolo Aris ran well on fast going at Fairyhouse but didn't appreciate an extra furlong on soft ground at Roscommon.
