UK Horse Racing Tips: Fairyhouse

GREAT WHITE SHARK has improved in each of her three starts over hurdles thus far and rates the one to beat in the opener for Willie Mullins and Paul Townend. Like the selection, Little Light has struck the crossbar on her last couple of starts and she is likely to be in the shake-up again, while Owenacurra Lass, Tara Dylan and Tens Or Better are other names to note.
Prediction : 1st Great White Shark 2nd Little Light 3rd Tens Or Better

DISCORDANTLY certainly wasn't disgraced when eighth in the Martin Pipe and could open his account now switched back to maiden company. Elite Charboniere is equipped with a tongue-tie after disappointing at Leopardstown over the Christmas period and a much improved showing is expected, while Lord Schnitzel, La Tektor and The Gunner Murphy add further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st Discordantly 2nd Elite Charboniere 3rd Lord Schnitzel

Willie Mullins has won five of the last six renewals of this contest and the master of Closutton has a strong hand once again, saddling three of the seven declared runners. Cash Back and Roll Again are both respected but preference is for MISTER BLUE SKY, who built on his Wexford success when chasing home a smart rival at Naas. All For Joy and Eclair De Beaufeu also bring solid form to the table.
Prediction : 1st Mister Blue Sky 2nd Eclair De Beaufeu 3rd All For Joy

ZERO TEN hasn't put a foot wrong in both starts over hurdles to date and, although this represents a marked step up in class, the exciting son of Shantou could extend his winning sequence. Gallant John Joe placed at Grade 1 level at the Dublin Racing Festival and gamely won a Listed event latest. He looks sure to run another big race, with Harrie possibly the best of Willie Mullins' quartet.
Prediction : 1st Zero Ten 2nd Gallant John Joe 3rd Harrie

LADY ISCHIA was staying on better than anything bar the winner when second at Downpatrick last month, and could claim compensation now at a more conventional track. The seven-year-old has the services of Barry Geraghty once more and looks to be getting the hang of things now over hurdles. Dragon Houdini looks open to much improvement after shedding the maiden tag at Navan in February, while Song Of The Sky and Janeymac also make appeal for each-way purposes.
Prediction : 1st Lady Ischia 2nd Dragon Houdini 3rd Song Of The Sky

BREESY MOUNTAIN was far from disgraced when last seen at Gowran Park trying to overcome a 10lb rise for an earlier success at Punchestown, and might have gone close to winning again there but for a mistake at the last. Shane Crawley's charge can continue his progress, most likely at the expense of Viscount Wilson, who has shaped well in second spot the last twice for Gordon Elliott, and recent Clonmel scorer Scotch Quay, who followed up that win with a good victory at Wexford on Friday.
Prediction : 1st Breesy Mountain 2nd Viscount Wilson 3rd Scotch Quay
