Verdict

Indian Fairy had been running well in maidens before winning one at Tramore and the assessor looks to have her mark just right though Brian Crawley's claim is a bonus. SUPREME VIC came to the Festival in winning form having scored comfortably at Limerick and though finding 2m on the short side she ran a tremendous race behind Cacheofgold. She's been raised 6lb but it may not be enough to prevent her going in again. Roadtotheisland has run quite well since his Sligo victory but could still be a few pounds high and though Via Del Corso has some decent form to her credit she's still a maiden over hurdles after 16 starts. Johnston's Best showed very little before transferring to new connections but she's been narrowly beaten twice over this trip at Sligo, the latest when favourite, so she has to be considered a threat from what is probably still a lenient mark.
