FormscanBy Donal Murphy - MIDNIGHT FAIRY ran a cracker on her handicap debut at Limerick earlier this month and a reproduction of that effort might be good enough to take this. She was a fine second of 17 at Greenmount Park and eight-and-a-half lengths clear of the third, with the winner of that race since giving the form a boost by following-up on his next start. First and third at Down Royal on St Patrick's Day, Cher Tara and Ar Nos Na Gaoithe are both sure to have plenty of supporters. The former since had to settle for minor honours at Downpatrick and she is tried in cheekpieces for the first time now. Bidding to follow-up on a surprise success at Limerick, Silent Selector warrants the utmost respect with Rob James aboard, while others for the shortlist in this competitive affair are Silent Dawn, Heidi's Frontiere and Arnacoeur.
