FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Recent impressive Tramore winner FAIRYLAND OPERA could prove leniently treated off 114. Despite easily opening her account over hurdles, the Lorna Fowler-trained mare was left on the same mark for that maiden success. Back in handicap company, the six-year-old can exploit that favourable rating. Runner-up on her previous start at Navan, the daughter of Elusive Pimpernel has plenty of experience. A fast run race, where she can be delivered late from off the pace should really suit. Thanksforthehelp was third in this race a few years back when sent off market leader. Representing the sponsors, he is sure to have had a repeat bid in mind for some time. Ballysax Hank also catches the eye off a lower hurdles mark.
