Race preview
Foxy Girl shouldn't be judged too harshly on her ninth-placed finish in a similar contest at Fairyhouse in December having been hampered and losing all chance at the last. The six-year-old isn't taken lightly, but SHECOULDBEANYTHING makes slightly more appeal. Gordon Elliott's charge has some useful form in the book and she may find that the addition of a first-time tongue-tie unlocks some improvement, with Danny Gilligan's 5lb claim of value too. Although the progressive Feet Of A Dancer faces her stiffest assignment to date, the Authorized mare may not have reached her ceiling just yet.
