Verdict

WOODLAND OPERA was successful over fences when odds-on favourite at Fairyhouse earlier this month. The selection hails from a yard who have already been in the winners enclosure this week and have won this race four times in the past. Le Prezien who should appreciate this step up in trip having run over an extended 2m last time out with Diamond King and On Fiddlers Green others to note in a competitive contest.
