Twice-raced maiden. Very disappointing when turned over at short odds in March but freshened up since and her Fairyhouse debut form is pretty much the best on offer here.

Forecasts

Kavanaghs Cross (9/4), Three By Two (10/3), Gali Flight (7/2), Asserted (9/2), Creggsman (17/2), Granny Tc (18/1), Listening Mode (33/1), Backing Band (33/1), Argenta (50/1), Al Ulaa (50/1), Flashthelights (66/1), Big Bee Hive (66/1), Mystery Mac (66/1), Pauly Pennino (66/1), Flurry Yeats (66/1), Ittakestwohands (80/1), Carheenlea Blues (100/1), Dorans Boy (125/1), Villain Thomas (200/1)

There was presumably something amiss with THREE BY TWO when well beaten at short odds at Clonmel in March. She's been given a bit of time since and is probably worth one more chance for her leading yard as her Fairyhouse debut was promising. Kavanaghs Cross and Gali Flight look the chief form threats.
