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.
