Verdict
Criquette went for £52,000 after landing a point in Ireland in December while Kilbarry Leader fetched £27,000 after scoring at Dromahane in October. The four-year-old Belleloise should do better on this quicker ground while Fancy Stuff, a winner on the Fairyhouse point-to-point track last April, looked a nice prospect when landing a Ludlow bumper and should make a bold bid to defy a penalty. ROSE OF SIENA was beaten just under three lengths by Call Me Harry at Musselburgh and the winner has defied a penalty subsequently so Nicky Richards' mare can get off the mark.
