Having upped her game a notch when just touched off on her handicap debut at Naas last month, FAIRYLAND OPERA looks the way to go. She may have most to fear form Love Like This, who is 0-15 over hurdles but she's been knocking on the door of late. Qualimita is also accorded respect, while Kinturk Maggie is one to keep an eye on in the betting.
