Verdict

The improving FAIRYTALE THEATRE will be a short price to follow up her easy 14-length defeat of Young Cheddar over 2m4f at Taunton. The runner-up re-opposes on 7lb better terms and Conor Shoemark's claim will also help her cause but it's difficult to see how the placings can be reversed. None of the remaining trio have shown enough to suggest they'll be involved in the finish unless something happens to the selection.
