Fairyhouse Race 1 - Irish Ebf Auction Series Mdn
SWITCHING SIDES (2) shaped with real promise on debut when second tackling 1207m at the Curragh beaten 0.5L. Natural improvement should make him hard to stop and holds leading claims. PENNY BENJAMIN (16) also made a bright first impression when runner-up attempting 1508m at Roscommon beaten 0.8L. Looks sure to progress. Represents the main danger. RAZMATAZ (1) debuts for Donnacha O'Brien and this Starspangledbanner colt is worth close market attention. Makes some appeal. TREAN (9) is a Bayside Boy newcomer from the Paddy Twomey yard and any positive betting move would be notable. Not discounted.
