The winner at Fairyhouse on Saturday was I Am Maximus, the 1/1 favourite was 3rd at halfway making headway before 2 out. Despite a slight mistake at the last he was 5 lengths clear keeping on well on the run-in to easily beat Vanillier by 14 lengths booking his place in the Grand National at Aintree in April where he is currently a 12/1 chance. In the other race Slanagaibhgoleir was 4th with the contest going to Shadow Rider who beat Kashi by 21 lengths.
Seven races take place at Naas on Sunday with two features.
1.25: Winning Fair Juvenile Hurdle ( Grade 3)
5: Wodhooh: Continued her unbeaten record over hurdles when taking a listed race at Doncaster last month. She travelled well leading after 2 out going clear before the last, she stayed on strongly beating Max Of Stars by 6 1/2 lengths. She should take the step up in her stride and complete a 5-timer here.
2.55: Newlands Chase (Grade 3)
5: Ferny Hollow: A high-class chaser who was last seen winning a Grade 1 at Leopardstown back in December 2021. He led from the 1st and despite being strongly pressed after the last he kept on well to come home by 1 1/2 lengths. We haven't seen him since but he will have been well trained so fitness shouldn't be a problem and he can make it 6 in a row here.
