In depth
Verdict
FANCY FOUNDATIONS is 2-4 over hurdles but hasn’t run over the smaller obstacles since the end of 2020, though could be well treated. Fest Deiz has also been chasing but did win at Kilbeggan last month. Slige Dala is another reverting to hurdling after a break but is still preferred to Eclair De Beaufeu, who was beaten in a claimer at Limerick last month. Alvaro looks a threat to all having followed up a maiden win at Tramore with a third in novice company at Cork with Molly Wedger possibly the pick of the remainder.
