Friday was a poor day with my pick The Churchill Lad finishing 6th. The 100/30 joint favourite was at the rear early after being slowly away. He made some progress from 3 out but kept on at one pace inside the final furlong. Upfront the other joint favourite Barbapapa won beating Brave Troop by 3/4 of a length.
A busy weekend begins with 8 races at Fairyhouse on Saturday where the main event is the 12.50 when 6 line-up for the Easter Festival 16-18 April Hurdle. Indigo Breeze picked up his career best win at Gowran Park when last seen 56 days ago. He was well on top at the finish coming home by 1 3/4 lengths and has the capability to follow up here with further process expected. Daly Tiger is a smart chaser who won well at Limerick on his last outing on Boxing day. That was his career best on his return over hurdles making him a big threat. The other challenger should be Autumn Evening who has one win from three runs this season that came in a hurdle at Listowel in September. He was a creditable 8th in a handicap hurdle over this course and distance 48 days ago so definitely shouldn’t be ruled out. Of the rest the one I like is Annamix. He needs to bounce back after falling 3 out in the Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury 49 days ago. He switches to hurdles here and goes significantly down in trip so needs to be considered.
Big race prediction: 4: Indigo Breeze.
