UK Horse Racing Tips: Fairyhouse

SAVEFORARAINYDAY impressed with a wide-margin success in a mares' maiden hurdle at Limerick in February. The form of her fourth at Leopardstown over Christmas has been very well franked, so she has a sporting chance of giving weight away here. Anna McGuinness claims 7lb on Arslan and the pair teamed up well when winning at Thurles. Radiator Springs has form behind top-class mares Oldschool Outlaw and Bambino Fever when third at Naas, and built on that when delivering at Clonmel in January.
Prediction : 1st Saveforarainyday 2nd Arslan 3rd Radiator Springs

MAJOLIQUE looked smart when winning an eventful juvenile hurdle on debut for Willie Mullins at Naas in February. She put in good late work to draw four-lengths clear and there should be plenty more to come from her. Proactif was a beaten favourite when unplaced in the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, but could readily resume winning ways if putting his best foot forward. Moulin Labbe opened up to win well at Navan and is not without a chance, while Michonne and North Shore shouldn't be disregarded.
Prediction : 1st Majolique 2nd Proactif 3rd Moulin Labbe

GRANN'S BOY looked to be on good terms with himself when runner-up on his comeback on the Flat at Navan last week. Prior to that, he was also second in a decent handicap hurdle at Galway in October and the Navan spin should have blown the cobwebs away. Hat-trick-seeking Shabby Hill merits plenty of respect on handicap debut. He hasn't been winning by far, so it is hard for the handicapper to get a gauge on his ability. Gordon Elliott's Timeless Treaty is a triple winner over flights and should be in the mix for prize money, while Eagles Reign showed a welcome return to form when runner-up at Naas last month.
Prediction : 1st Granns Boy 2nd Shabby Hill 3rd Timeless Treaty

KAWABOOMGA looked like he would appreciate a step up in trip when keeping on well in fourth over 2m in a Grade 3 at Gowran Park. An absolute stack of winners came out of the maiden hurdle he won at Fairyhouse last year, so he has plenty of upside. His stablemate, Storm Heart, beat him in that aforementioned Grade 3 and he looks a big player after a keeping-on third in the BetMGM Cup. The Yellow Clay doesn't have an easy task in giving weight away to the field, but is a talented sort.
Prediction : 1st Kawaboomga 2nd Storm Heart 3rd The Yellow Clay

This is the grade that FOUND A FIFTY typically does his best work in and he can repeat last year's victory. With a mark of 162, he is certainly advantaged by the weights in this contest. Blood Destiny put it all together to win a Grade 3 at Naas in February and is a threat. Energumene was third behind Found A Fifty in the Hilly Way in December, so could have a bit to find with him. Saint Sam is likely to give it a good go off the front and he was only beaten by less than a length by Found A Fifty in last year's renewal.
Prediction : 1st Found A Fifty 2nd Blood Destiny 3rd Energumene

GORAIBHMAITHAGAT appeals after being pipped in the Leinster National at Naas. He is nicely weighted, has Harry Cobden's assistance, and his full-brother won over a marathon trip in last year's Killarney National. First-time blinkers saw Monbeg Genius stay on for third in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham and merits plenty of respect. Rob James steered Better Days Ahead to sixth in this contest last year and the Milan gelding had two lovely preparation runs at Navan. Leopardstown-winner O'Toole is one that could go well at a bigger price, while Ulster National hero Born Braver could get involved if recovered from recent exertions.
Prediction : 1st Goraibhmaithagat 2nd Monbeg Genius 3rd Better Days Ahead

A close third in a Listed handicap hurdle at this meeting last year, AYIKO may been campaigned with this race in mind. Having had just the three starts over fences this season, the Stuart Crawford-trained gelding looks reasonably treated off a mark just 1lb below his hurdle rating. Handicap-debutant Butch Cassidy is an interesting runner for the Henry De Bromhead stable and the son of Walk In The Park is open to improvement. Leopardstown winner Joyau De Thaix is another with claims in a competitive affair.
Prediction : 1st Ayiko 2nd Butch Cassidy 3rd Joyau De Thaix

CHARISMATIC KID can win for the first time since joining trainer Gordon Elliott. Having shaped with plenty of promise when third in a Grade 2 bumper at Leopardstown over Christmas, the gelding will find this task easier. Unbeaten in all three career starts, Jeroboam Machin has clearly not been an easy horse to train. Off the track since February 2024, the Emmet Mullins-trained gelding would be a serious threat if retaining all his old ability. Runner-up on all three runs for Willie Mullins, Poetisa has every chance of a first Irish success.
Prediction : 1st Charismatic Kid 2nd Jeroboam Machin 3rd Poetisa
