Fairyhouse (first race 12.35)
Once an ante-post favourite for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle, Annamix is unlikely to hit such heights in top-class company but he has looked above average in two hurdling starts for Mullins. He continues his development against four previous winners in the 2m4½f novice hurdle (1.35). Read the full preview here.

Today's tips

Paul Kealy's top tip

Daring Venture
6.45 Chelmsford
Didn't really go on from easy win here in spring, but returned after a break with fine effort at Kempton and should go close if building on that.
