Side with Sampers

IN Some Respect is difficult to oppose in the opering Dunboyne Maiden at Fairyhouse this afternoon.

Andrew Oliver’s colt has been mixing it with far better opposition than he meets here and only has to run close to his best to finally deliver. The son of Indian Haven was fourth behind Love Lockdown in a Group 3 at Kempton last time and his second to Dick Turpin on this track and fourth behind Alfred Nobel in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh are particularly smart efforts, in the context of this contest.

It will be a pleasant surprise should In Some Respect not be an odds-on shot and Sampers can prove a more lucrative nap in the Ratoath Maiden. In theory she meets a number of dangerous rivals, but mostly they seem to need further than this six furlongs.
