UK Horse Racing Tips: Fairyhouse

HIGHLAND CRYSTAL arrives unbeaten after comfortable wins at Punchestown and Newbury in a Listed Juvenile Hurdle, and off her low weight less Paddy Cleary's 7lb claim, she could land her hat-trick here. Willie Mullins' Triumph Hurdle fifth Place De La Nation is an obvious danger. She made a winning return at Thurles when staying on strongly over further but she could be tapped for toe over this distance, while bumper winner Shesakindofmagic is one to watch in the markets ahead of her hurdling bow.
Prediction : 1st Highland Crystal 2nd Place De La Nation 3rd Shesakindofmagic

With very little form to work with the vote goes to EMERALD POET, a Plumpton bumper winner for Willie Mullins who remains unexposed ahead of his hurdling debut. The runner-up and third have won since to frank the form, and after staying on well at the Sussex track, the extra yardage here may prove ideal. Clonmel third Spinningayarn can chase him home for the in-form Gordon Elliott with the better ground in his favour, while Treasure Memory could hit a top three finish once again.
Prediction : 1st Emerald Poet 2nd Spinningayarn 3rd Treasure Memory

Midleton Rare won a bumper here in 2023 and has scored once since over hurdles at Limerick. If he reacts positively to first-time cheekpieces, he could mount a challenge. Connections persevere with Dollar Nolimit who had his first run in 23 months when fourth over 2m here recently. He could go well with that run under his belt, but Sligo maiden hurdle winner INSOUCIANT DALLIER might be the one. He had something in hand that day and an added 4lb may not be enough to stop him.
Prediction : 1st Insouciant Dallier 2nd Midleton Rare 3rd Dollar Nolimit

HITTHEHAYSON won a handicap chase at Haydock on his most recent outing off a rating of 100, his fourth win from his last five starts, and the seven-year-old is hard to oppose back over hurdles off a 9lb lower mark. Lough Nigara's second here in November suggests that he could prove to be the main threat, although The Miracle Man and Jukebox Johnny should not be discounted.
Prediction : 1st Hitthehayson 2nd Lough Nigara 3rd The Miracle Man

It is hard to oppose DINOBLUE, who has a good record when against her own sex over fences. The winner of the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham last March, the nine-year-old should only improve for her seasonal return in the Fortria. Look To The West is a lightly-raced eight-year-old and she has to be respected on her return, having won well at Kilbeggan when last seen in April. Bioluminescence has some questions to answer right now but edges out Shecouldbeanything to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Dinoblue 2nd Look To The West 3rd Bioluminescence

KAID D'AUTHIE left a good impression when finishing the close second at Punchestown on his chasing bow. The six-year-old can be marked up for that effort, given he found only his stablemate and subsequent Kauto Star winner Kitzbuhel too good, and he looks another smart prospect for Willie Mullins. Useful over timber, Wingmen has placed at Navan on both starts over fences. He could prove the main danger to the selection, ahead of Joystick.
Prediction : 1st Kaid Dauthie 2nd Wingmen 3rd Joystick

Gordon Elliott and Harry Swan have teamed up to win two of the last three renewals, so a much improved effort from Navan fourth With Nolimit would be no surprise. However, EARLY DAWNING finished a creditable third over C&D to the useful I'm Slippy and he looks one to keep on the right side of with Patrick Mullins taking over the reins. A runner-up between the flags, Seven Towers is also worthy of a second glance.
Prediction : 1st Early Dawning 2nd With Nolimit 3rd Seven Towers
