final day of Fairyhouse Easter meeting

today is the third and final day of the Fairyhouse Easter meeting with another good card, which opens with a Grade Two hurdle race for 4yo´s at 15.25 CET. Ebadiyan (Oliver Brady/ John Cullen) would have ben a hot favourite here but is a non-runner, which leaves the race wide open. Although a maiden, Timari (S Donoho/ Favy Russell), whose dam won a Munich Group One for the Aga Khan, could be a good each-way bet. The Grade Two novice hurdle half an hour later is also an open affair. Roberto Goldback (Jessica Harrington/ Barry Geraghty) could start favourite after running-up to the smart Go Native last time, but Clan Tara looks a big danger. He won well at Naas last time, with several of these behind him, notably multiple winners Quiscover Fontain and Caim Hill. There follow to very valuable handicaps, which both look very tricky. Our fancies are Perce Rock (Tommy Stack/ Tony McCoy) in the chase at 16.25 and Sesenta (Willie Mullins/ Ruby Walsh) in the hurdle race at 17.00.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: Ebadiyan - Manor Park - Coffee Tea Or Me
2. Race: Quiscover Fontaine - Head Of The Posse - Oscar Looby
3. Race: Perce Rock - Conna Castle - Tiger Cry
4. Race: Psycho - Sesenta - Time Electric
