Verdict
Zoffanien's last two runs have been at Cheltenham where he hasn't been disgraced and takes a drop in class. The lightly-raced Boothen Boy had some smart novice form and will have needed his run at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago. Blanketontheground won a course and distance handicap in January though has struggled to get her head in front from her raised mark but the four-year-old Ney was making his handicap debut when scooting away at Cork and should make a bold bid to defy an 8lb rise. MARVEL FAN might have won a Fairyhouse handicap in April had she not fallen at the last. A couple of recent runs on the Flat should have put her right for this and she can gain compensation though Punchestown maiden winner New Ross is worth a market check from the bottom of the weights.
