Verdict

FONZERELLI has shaped well on both her hurdling starts for Rebecca Menzies so is fancied to add to her Irish points win and make it happy days for her new connections. Fairfield Ferrata has to concede 7 lb to the selection but arrives in good nick and shouldn't be underestimated, while So They Say is worth considering too if, as expected, building on her debut Kelso fourth.
