Forecasts

Call The Fairies (6/4), Butterflyvespiere (5/1), Presenting Bonnie (11/2), Sit Down Lucy (13/2), Trixie Mc (17/2), Getaway Queen (9/1), Call Me Dolly (12/1), So Enjoy (40/1)

Verdict

SIT DOWN LUCY won by a street on debut in this sphere at Limerick and almost certainly would've finished closer in a Punchestown novice next time but for a bad blunder 2 out. She is taken to make a winning handicap bow, perhaps at the chief expense of recent Wexford scorer Getaway Queen. That said, Call The Fairies merits considerable respect, too, along with hat-trick seeker Presenting Bonnie.

  1. SIT DOWN LUCY (IRE)
  2. GETAWAY QUEEN (IRE)
  3. CALL THE FAIRIES (IRE)
