UK Horse Racing Tips: Fairyhouse

MUST GO NOW gets the vote for race sponsor Eddie Cawley. The selection won in good style over C&D on New Year's Day and didn't enjoy the clearest of runs on his only subsequent start when finishing well into third over a shorter trip at Naas. Crescent Moon was very impressive over C&D a fortnight ago but has been given a 14lb hike by the handicapper, while others to consider include UK raider Ben Solo and the progressive Collaborative. Any market move for Harbour Highway would be significant.
Prediction : 1st Must Go Now 2nd Crescent Moon 3rd Ben Solo

JASKO DES DAMES won twice over fences earlier this season and ran a cracker last time when fifth behind Jazzy Matty in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham with Conyers Hill four lengths back in sixth. The latter is another who has to be considered here. Path D'oroux never really got involved over 2m4f at Cheltenham last month but is generally a very consistent sort and holds strong claims on his previous second at this venue. Jesse Evans is a smart handicap hurdler who has already registered a win and a Grade 3 place from just three starts over fences.
Prediction : 1st Jasko Des Dames 2nd Conyers Hill 3rd Path Doroux

CHAMP KIELY won a Grade 1 over hurdles and, following a lengthy absence, has taken well to fences this season. He won in good style over an extended 2m5f here on New Year's Day and readily justified short odds in a Grade 3 at Navan last time. Riding arrangements suggest he's preferred of Willie Mullins' trio, although Spindleberry also merits respect on her defeat of Bioluminescence over a longer trip here in February. Down Memory Lane made a bad mistake at the last when second to Lecky Watson over 2m3f at Punchestown and that form has been well advertised since.
Prediction : 1st Champ Kiely 2nd Spindleberry 3rd Down Memory Lane

ANTRIM COAST was a useful sort over hurdles, winning twice, and the form of his 3m success at Wexford last May has worked out particularly well. The Presenting gelding hasn't really threatened in three outings over fences this year but could be a different proposition now stepped up in trip and Keith Donoghue riding. Linden Arden has won both starts over fences, while Lightkeeper is on a hat-trick after two convincing wins but has been raised a combined 19lb. It will be interesting to see if the market speaks in favour of Kudasheva after an absence of 202 days.
Prediction : 1st Antrim Coast 2nd Linden Arden 3rd Lightkeeper

BEAR PROFIT won twice on the Flat last year and is now rated 79 following an encouraging reappearance when second over 1m4f at the Curragh. It will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market on his first start over hurdles, while the same remark applies to Nita, who has won three times on the level in Germany. Good Deal won a bumper here on New Year's Day and was again prominent throughout when runner-up to Butcher Hollow on his hurdles debut over 2m4f here a fortnight ago.
Prediction : 1st Bear Profit 2nd Good Deal 3rd Nita

THE BIG WESTERNER won a 2m7f Grade 2 at the Limerick Christmas meeting and was hampered after two out when beating all bar Jasmin De Vaux in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham. The drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue on this rain-softened ground and she should be hard to beat against her own sex. Stablemate Air Of Entitlement mugged Sixandahalf close home in the 2m1f Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham and there shouldn't be much between the pair again. Karoline Banbou was nearly nine lengths back in fourth with a number of these further adrift including Maughreen, who lost her chance when whipping around at the start.
Prediction : 1st The Big Westerner 2nd Sixandahalf 3rd Air Of Entitlement

MONEY HEIST won twice over fences last season and appeared to find 3m a shade too far when reverting to hurdles at Leopardstown last month. His current hurdles mark is 18lb lower than his chase rating and that has to make him of interest. Imadpour atoned for a narrow defeat at Wexford when scoring in good style over 2m1f at Bellewstown and should be suited by this step up in distance. Goodie Girl has been let down by her jumping but is another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Money Heist 2nd Imadpour 3rd Goodie Girl

Willie Mullins won this valuable bumper with Kopek Des Bordes last year and SUNSHINEWAY looks the pick of his five newcomers this time with son Patrick in the saddle. The Galiway gelding cost 170,000 euro last year and the dam has already produced four winner, including a Listed scorer on the Flat in France. Le Tatoue Madrik, a 115,000-euro store by Cokoriko, and I'm Slippy are other newcomers to note. Four Wise Poets showed promise when third on debut at Leopardstown last month, while Intosomethinggood was third in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham on New Year's Day and that form gives him a big chance.
Prediction : 1st Sunshineway 2nd Intosomethinggood 3rd Le Tatoue Madrik
