27/1/24 Fairyhouse

 Friday's winner at Dundalk was Elegant Man, the 4/7 favourite was 3rd at halfway making headway to lead 1 1/2 furlongs out. He kept on well inside the final furlong beating Tyson Fury by 3 1/2 lengths. In the other contest Blue Soul was 6th in a race won by Bergamasco who beat Special Angel by 2 1/4 lengths. 

The weekend gets underway with 7 races at Fairyhouse on Saturday where there are 2 main events. 

1.05: SBK Handicap Chase. 

2: Battle Of Ridgeway: A horse with a decent record who was a good second on handicap chase debut when last seen at Thurles 6 weeks ago. He was in midfield improving to dispute the lead 3 out, he was passed in the final 100 yards going down by 1/2 a length. On form he has a good chance here and can go one better.

2.15: SBK Solerina Mares Novice Hurdle (Grade 3)

3: Jade De Grugy: A promising horse who looked an exciting prospect when winning on hurdles debut at Leopardstown 30 days ago. She led entering the straight going 4 lengths clear at the last, she kept on well on the run-in easily coming home by 15 lengths. She should take the step up in class in her stride and follow up here.
