The new week began with my selection Joan Of Arc being a non runner at The Curragh. The race was won by Queens Speech who went clear just over a furlong out and the 11/2 chance eventually came home by 5 lengths beating Disco Boots.
Tuesday is another one meeting day an 8 race card at Fairyhouse,the feature race is at 12.45 when 17 start the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase. Hostage To Fortune last ran at Galway at the beginning of October where he was a very good third and another performance like that should see him claim his first victory. The main challenger is The Echo Boy who is a useful chaser and he wasn't disgraced when finishing 5th at Tramore in mid September and as long as he's not ridden as aggressively he should be in the mix. The other one to look at is Fauguernon who makes his chase debut here and returns to the course where he finished a creditable 4th in a handicap hurdle 24 days ago so he should definitely be considered. The rest of the field have plenty to prove so any of them could upset the odds but look out for Court Tycoon who's best performance this year was a third in a handicap chase at Killarney back in July so he should be respected.
Big race prediction: 5: Hostage To Fortune.
