Fangio De Vassy has so far failed to live up to the promise of his debut at Leopardstown last year, when well ahead of Macs Charm, but this is a drop in class and cheekpieces are added. Clarabello showed promise last season and Mutual Respect reverts to maiden company after three runs in handicaps. MRS KINSELLA travelled strongly for a long way in the race won by the odds-on Robyndeglory at Killarney at the start of the month. Declan Queally rode the winner that day and partners Denis Murphy’s mare in this so must believe that the form is decent.
