Saturday wasn't a great day for my pick with Scheu Time coming 5th. The 4/1 favourite was 7th at halfway and made some headway to sit 5th approaching the straight. He made no impression from 2 out offering nothing extra in the closing stages. The race was won by Rebel Early the 11/1 shot beat Carrigeen Lotus by 5 lengths.
Seven races take place at Fairyhouse on Sunday where the highlight is the 2.20 when 12 line-up for the Dan & Joan Moore Memorial Handicap Chase. Two in the field meet again after going head-to-head here 6 weeks ago. Dunvegan won that day for his only victory this season. That was his career best and on form he has a good chance to make it two in a row. After finishing second Grange Walk went on to win a handicap chase at Leopardstown on Boxing Day beating Exit Poll by 3 3/4 lengths. He stayed on well and definitely enters calculations. The other main threat is Capuccimix who's only win this season came at Killarney back in July. He was 6 lengths in front at the finish and despite being off 177 days he definitely deserves consideration. Of the rest keep an eye on Blackbow who despite finishing 6th to Chantry House in the Golden Miller Novices Chase at Cheltenham when last seen back in March has a good chance on this his handicap chase debut.
Big race prediction: 5: Dunvegan.
