In depth
Verdict
Part Time Affair was placed at Roscommon in September and stablemate Farsideofthemoon ran well enough without threatening at Fairyhouse on last month’s debut when behind point-to-point winner WINGIN A PRAYER. Jessica Harrington’s charge also finished ahead of Feelgood Island and Beeverstown Bullet on his debut under Rules and may prove good enough with normal progress. No Grey Area's disappointed last time having finished second on his earlier debut but Ballyhot Boy is related to bumper winners so preferred to stablemate Rosgalme and Thedancingman of the newcomers.
