YULONG GOLD FAIRY battled to victory in this last year when Imaging, who started favourite, could only finish fifth. Her two latest runs were on faster ground than she would have liked and she's taken to win the race again for a new yard. Ed Vaughan sends Dubai Dominion from the UK. Her form doesn't look up to scratch there have been a couple of surprise winning raiders in the past few weeks. Black Magic Woman ran a fine race when just failing to concede weight to Current Option in a Leopardstown handicap but Bowerman only scrambled home at Gowran and doesn't really look up to this.
