In depth
Verdict
Blowing Dixie carries a penalty for his victories in the UK where he was a Southwell specialist. AN TAIBHSE ran out of steam in very testing ground at Fairyhouse after looking the likely winner. She should have few problems seeing off what looks a very moderate bunch here. Winning point-to-pointer Tango Theatre should be capable of better while Onehundredpercent may also do better on this quicker ground.
