FAIRY WING has more to do than when completing a double under an 8lb rise at Dundalk last Friday but a 5lb penalty doesn't look enough to prevent a follow-up as he had a little in hand. The veteran Hard Rock City had slipped to a very lowly mark when beating Almadaa at Dundalk and has gone up 6lb but Tommy Stack's UK acquisition Eclipseoftheheart can race from the same mark as when scoring at Kempton in September for James Fanshawe. Olfa's only success came over 5f but she's at the right end of the weights and can go well along with Barrow Island, who returned to action last year with a victory.
