Fairyhouse 18:00 - Price Boost

oddschecker Verdict

Successful in the hugely valuable Irish EBF Ballyhane Stakes last season and already a winner this term, HOWD'YADOIT shades the vote. He backed up a fine seasonal reappearance with a battling victory in a 5f handicap at Navan last month and reverting to 6f is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Five-time winner Gazelle D'or ran her best race when second to Mission Central over 5f at Naas and is feared most, ahead of Tango Flar, who won this race in 2023 and 2024 before finishing runner-up last year. Although the lightly-raced Alibah will need to improve on her seasonal return at Gowran Park, her performance in a Listed race over C&D in September certainly gives her a chance.

Prediction: 1st Howdyadoit, 2nd Gazelle Dor, 3rd Tango Flare
