Fairy needs good ground to make trip to Leop Leopardstown could be the next port of call for Snow Fairy following her triumphant return from injury at Deauville. If conditions are suitable, the five-year-old mare is likely to head for the Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes on September 8th in which she finished second to So You Think last season. Ed Dunlop's charge showed she had made a full recovery from a leg problem sustained when winning the Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup in Japan in November when landing the Prix Jean Romanet earlier this month. There are plenty of options for Snow Fairy for the rest of the year, starting with Leopardstown's 10-furlong Group One. "She's in great form and everything seems to be all go," said Patrick Cooper, racing manager to her owners Anamoine Limited. "We will just see. She is very ground dependent and if the ground is soft she can't run. "Right now in Ireland it isn't looking very good. Having said that we are due to have good weather for the next week or so, we will just see. "If the ground is good then she will probably come to Leopardstown. If it isn't, she won't. "We'd have to take it each race at a time and if she didn't go there, the Prix Vermeille (at Longchamp on September 16th) is the next obvious one."
