The best on Saturday at Fairyhouse came from Positive Thinker who was 2nd, the 11/4 favourite pressed the leader early and despite dropping to 3rd at the 5th he was still in touch. He ran on well to challenge towards the finish but he just failed to reach the winner Emancipator who just came home by a short head. In the other race Hunters Yarn didn't finish, the 1/3 favourite was 5 lengths in front when he fell at the last, the contest went to Sa Fureur who was left clear and beat Byker by 40 lengths.
A busy Sunday sees seven races at both Navan and Thurles with two standing out.
Navan 1.10: Download The Betvictor App Tara Handicap Hurdle.
3: Shannon Royale: A lightly-raced horse who put in his career best performance when winning at Punchestown 3 weeks ago. He made all the running going clear after the last keeping on well and coming home by a very easy 24 lengths. He makes his handicap hurdle debut here and can follow up.
Thurles 2.00: Billy Harney Memorial Irish EBF Mares Novice Hurdle.
6: Fun Fun Fun: An exciting prospect who made a winning hurdles debut on this course 17 days ago. She led all the way and despite having a reduced advantage from the 5th she travelled well asserting herself on the run-in beating Sansrisk by 7 1/2 lengths. Improvement is expected and she is the one to beat here.
