Lismullen scorer Bacardys the pick of our three runners in Hatton's Grace
Strong team for Fairyhouse on Sunday
Burrows Saint returns to the scene of his BoyleSports Irish Grand National win in the Grade 1 Drinmore Novice Chase (1.30) on what will be his last day eligible to run in a novice race. He has the rating to win and while the 2m4f trip will be short of his optimum, his experience over the course will be a big help.
We also run Chef Des Obeaux, another on his final day as a novice. He won over 3m2f at Chepstow for Nicky Henderson and will be having his first run for us. He's well but it will be quite a big ask. We'll see how he goes and where he might fit in.
It's disappointing that Benie Des Dieux has to miss the Grade 1 Hatton's Grace Hurdle (2.40) but we're still represented with Bacardys, who won the Lismullen Hurdle in great style at Navan, Penhill returning from a long absence and Killultagh Vic.
