Irish Champion Stakes

At this stage Snow Fairy looks a tad too big for this at a generally available 3/1. The weather forecast suggests fast ground and I think Nathaniel looks a bit short. 6/4 seems very skinny, particulary for a horse that likes to get his toe in. Ed Dunlop's mare acts on any ground, ran a cracker in this very race last year and tends to come on for her first run of the season. The rest seem to be either 3yo's I don't rate (Imperial Monarch), or animals like Princess Highway and St Nicholas Abbey who surely won't be seen at their best over a mile and a quarter on ground without a lot of juice in it.

Irish Champion Stakes:
Snow Fairy £40w @ 3/1
