5/2

Beaten favourite last time out when a disappointing 24L behind the winner Brace Yourself when second of eight here on St Stephen's day. Not easy to discount given the form the stable are in.

Forecasts

Harrie (2/5), Dorydalis (5/2), Castafiore Park (10/1), Cairnhill (12/1), Curious Times (12/1), Longtide (14/1), Well Set Up (20/1), Under Surveillance (20/1), Worth The Wait (25/1), Arizengo (33/1), Lady Margorie (100/1)

Curious Times fourth of nine in a Fairyhouse bumper last time out, the Paul Nolan-trained Castafiore Park promising second of 13 to Minnies Secret on St Stephens day at Limerick and the Gigginstown Stud-owned Dorydalis will all be looking to improve on their last starts and are capable of reaching the frame but they will have to catch the Willie Mullins-trained HARRIE who is likely to be a warm order here.
