Fairyhouse Race 6 - William Hill Each Way Extra Challenge Series Maiden Hurdle
PAT'S LEGACY (4) holds form claims judging on a latest 14L fifth among much stronger company than this. May benefit for the drop in grade and the extra distance will help also. Leading contender. NEEDS MUST (2) represents a top yard. Ran with credit in stronger contests and will likely find this much more realistic. Good jockey booked and is easy to fancy. SOMERSBY ROOST (14) is a point to point winner. Showed plenty of ability on two starts under rules so far and running third up could be primed with these conditions suiting. Key player. ROUGH 'N' SMOOTH (5) has each way claims now attempting a suitable contest.

Facing the starter for the third time today.

Can improve further but prefer to wait until she shows something.
