UK Horse Racing Tips: Fairyhouse

It is difficult to look past HUNTERS YARN as he attempts to follow in the footsteps of top-class stablemate El Fabiolo, who took this contest 12 months ago. A winner of two of his five starts last season, and runner-up in a Grade 2 here when last seen in April, the six-year-old just about sets the standard on form and is preferred to Sa Fureur, who didn't look done with when falling three out in a strong contest on his chasing debut at Navan. Not seen in action since the Royal Bond here last year, Polo Lounge cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Hunters Yarn 2nd Sa Fureur 3rd Polo Lounge

A major improver on the step up beyond three miles when scoring comfortably at this venue last time out, POTTERS PARTY should have plenty more to come and a mark of 121 looks manageable on his handicap debut. A winner here in a ladies' handicap a couple of weeks ago, So Des Flos is entitled to be thereabouts, along with Clonmeen, who is progressing well. Fairyhouse specialist Where's Frankie is another key player with Rachael Blackmore taking over in the saddle.
Prediction : 1st Potters Party 2nd Clonmeen 3rd Wheres Frankie

A winner on the Flat when trained in France, Pacini hasn't been able to replicate that level of form over timber but he's in top hands to progress and must enter the reckoning. However, it might be worth taking a chance on stablemate HEY WHATEVER. She achieved a peak rating of 76 on the level and ought to be more than capable if taking to this new discipline. Green Sky heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Hey Whatever 2nd Pacini 3rd Green Sky

MR SOCIAL has been running to a consistent level since winning at Tramore in August and appears to have been found a good opportunity to cash in on that spell of good form. Not Before Time makes her handicap bow from a potentially lenient mark so it would be no surprise were she to take a step forward, while Virtual Oscar and Robindevidastar are just two others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Mr Social 2nd Not Before Time 3rd Virtual Oscar

O'MOORE PARK hasn't been seen on a racecourse since finishing third in a warm Punchestown Festival bumper 596 days ago, but it's interesting that connections have opted to keep the Walk In The Park gelding in training. He chased home a couple of useful types that day so if he's anywhere near that level now sent over timber, he could be hard to beat. Chigorin and Zaidi, who could improve for the addition of first-time cheekpieces, are feared most.
Prediction : 1st OMoore Park 2nd Chigorin 3rd Zaidi

TANGENTAL caught the eye last time out with a Wexford third over three miles off a mark just 1lb lower and if he can be kept that fraction nearer to the early pace here, he appears to have an excellent chance. Ragin Cajun had a bit in hand when successful at Thurles but has an added 10lb, which may stop the follow-up, while Welsh Saint could get his favoured heavy ground and is potentially well handicapped if connections can get him back to his 2020 form.
Prediction : 1st Tangental 2nd Ragin Cajun 3rd Welsh Saint

Willie Mullins has won two of the last six renewals and is double-handed, with point-to-point runner-up El Fabienne possibly the stable pick, ahead of the unraced Westerner filly Western Princess. Both are well worth a market watch for signs of confidence, but a chance is taken on DOYEN MAGIC. An easy winner on her sole appearance between the flags, she was snapped up for 140,000 pounds shortly after and as a daughter of Doyen, she is expected to have the speed to be effective at this trip.
Prediction : 1st Doyen Magic 2nd El Fabienne 3rd Western Princess
