Whitefountainfairy¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

Forecasts

Verhoyen (13/8), Whitefountainfairy (5/2), Red Persian (5/2), Zalzar (9/2), Only William (7/1), Band of Outlaws (8/1), Spirit Power (10/1), Bella Figura (16/1), Devastating Power (20/1), Tahan (20/1), Smiling Eliza (25/1), Air Of Nobility (66/1), Storm Has Broken (66/1), Piper Bomb (100/1)

RED PERSIAN ran well when finishing runner-up on debut at The Curragh last month and he can take this large field two-year-old maiden contest. Verhoyen ran well in a Listed contest on his penultimate start but has disappointed in maiden company since and is closely matched with Whitefountainfairy on that running while Spirit Power who has finished runner-up on two of his three starts to date is another to consider today.
