FormscanBy Tom Weekes - FAIRYLAND OPERA has run well in three of four runs this season and contests a winnable maiden, stepping up in distance. A granddaughter of high-class racemare Opera Hat, she finished second to a subsequent-winner at Naas in February, where the third-placed horse won twice afterwards. She again ran well at Navan last month and a reproduction of those runs would give her every chance, although drying ground is a small concern. Knockaneleigh Girl was gambled when finishing third to a stablemate winner at Clonmel last month and needs to improve to beat the selection. Keep Kool Coko has place claims.
