In depth
Verdict
Shantou Warrior was a disappointing favourite at Fairyhouse after a very good run there previously. Mr Jackman lost his maiden tag over timber in a maiden at Hexham before a moderate run on a return visit but BORO TARI looks the type for this. She had five runs over fences last year, winning at Tramore, and made an encouraging reappearance after a long lay-off over hurdles at Navan last month. She was only just behind Tullyveery Lad in the latter event and should turn the tables with the run under her belt. Auckland has to be considered after a very good second over the track and trip before unseating at the second last when there with every chance on his chasing debut at Wexford. She's Commanche is another to consider in an open handicap.
