It is the final day of the Fairyhouse Easter festival and after landing his first Irish Grand National, Willie Mullins bids to continue the momentum with a strong hand in the Grade 3 mares' chase (3.10).

The trainer also has leading claims in the €100,000 RYBO Handicap Hurdle (4.40) and has won five of the last seven renewals.

In Britain, there are jumps meetings at Ludlow and Sedgefield, a Flat fixture at Yarmouth, and the evening action is provided by Lingfield and Wolverhampton.
