In depth
Verdict
Minx Tiara has won over fences since scoring over hurdles at Limerick but remains 9lb higher. Tune The Chello scored over track and trip earlier but failed to complete last time while Regina Dracones missed out on a hat-trick of victories at Fairyhouse when only third and is 2lb higher today. Daphne Moon beat Robyndeglory by only a neck at the latter track and that pair are hard to separate while NORWIGI is another maiden hurdle winner at Fairyhouse. The runner-up has subsequently boosted the form by winning and Enda Bolger’s mare gets the vote.
