A good Monday at Fairyhouse saw two of my tips win, in the 3.50 Asterion Forlonge was 4th at halfway making headway to lead 2 out. He kept on well on the run-in beating Monkfish by 1/2 a length. The other winner was Easy Game, the 2/1 shot led early but was passed 6 out. He made no impression from 2 out but was left well clear when Janidil fell at the last, he beat Royal Rendezvous by 81 lengths. The Irish Grand National saw Thedevilscoachman fail to finish, the 7/1 shot weakened just past 2 out being pulled up before the last. I Am Maximus won the race beating Gevrey by a length. In the big race at Cork All Those Years finished 3rd in a contest won by Brandy Harbour.
After a busy Easter Irish racing rolls on to Dundalk on Tuesday evening where on a 7 race card there are 2 features.
5.15: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.
6: Vanity Pays: An interesting newcomer who is related to some good horses including Doctor Strange and Esprit D'Argent. She is highly respected on debut for a trainer who's first 2-y-o runner of the season won at Cork on Saturday which is one of the reasons why she is the pick here.
6.15: irishinjuredjockeys.com Fillies Maiden.
8: Red Riding Hood: A good horse who was second behind stablemate the highly promising Jackie Oh at Naas 16 days ago. She challenged in the final 150 yards only going down by 1/2 a length. The step up in trip will definitely suit and with plenty of big race entries to come down the line including both 1,000 Guineas she is hard to oppose here.
