Fairyhouse Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th

Sint hope you right about first one, backed him for Festival. Potentially looks one of best novices around?

Was on t stars in morgiana but with prices this time I prefer voler la vedette. 6s look too far too big. Mourad not without chance either but voler la vedette price the most appealing to me.
Surely no m dHaguenet supporters left at this stage?

TS was def different class to opposition lto but I only see him as being slightly ahead of vlv. An with odds I fancy vlv each way. TS should def be fav but is priced pretty much correctly whereas I reckon vlv is couple of points higher in odds than should be. mourad too short in betting and don't see any other winner after those 3.
Just my opinion, sure plenty disagree completely.

Race will cut up surely- will wait and see

good looking drinmore though...

hopefully the rain lets up a bit here so it's not a slog through the mud...

EVEN-MONEY favourite Thousand Stars was on Friday not among the five declared for Sunday's Grade 1 Bar One Racing Hatton's Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse.


Trainer Willie Mullins withdrew the Ladbrokes.com Morgiana Hurdle winner, but will be represented by County Hurdle hero Final Approach, Mikael D'Haguenet and Mourad.


The Real Article and top mare Voler La Vedette, who finished second to Solwhit last year, complete the line-up.

Thousand Stars and Unaccompanied werethe only withdrawals from the Hatton's Grace, while Dylan Ross, as short as 7-1, was the only horse missing from the final declarations of the Grade 1 Bar One Racing Royal Bond Novice Hurdle.

Six will face the starter for that event, the first Grade 1 on the card, with Robbie McNamara booked to ride Galileo's Choice for Dermot Weld and Ruby Walsh for the Mullins-trained Sous Les Cieux. Paul Townend takes the ride on stablemate Midnight Game.

Six also line up for the Bar One Racing Drinmore Novice Chase, with only Last Instalment and Gift Of Dgab from the Gigginstown House Stud team withdrawn.

Barry Geraghty has been booked to ride the Paul Nolan-trained Shinrock Paddy and Paul Carberry rides stablemate Alpha Ridge

Soux Les Cieux 5/4 with Badblokes!!! Win this before going onto Festival glory?
