My Sister Sarah will bid to maintain her unbeaten record when she lines up in the I.N.H. Stallion Owners EBF Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse on Wednesday.
Having impressed on debut at Roscommon in August, the Willie Mullins-trained four-year-old followed up in style on her first start over flights at Punchestown last month.
From the family of J’y Vole and Long Run, the daughter of Martaline will be widely expected to make it three from three here, with Ruby Walsh again in the plate.
Mullins also saddles the hat-trick-seeking Stay Humble in this two-and-a-half-mile contest, and he is an obvious danger, while Famous Day Monbeg Worldwide and Cork winner Cooldine Bog are the others to focus on.
Gordon Elliott trains Monbeg Worldwide, and he is responsible for Monatomic in the opening Winter Festival Rated Novice Chase.
An unlucky loser at Tramore on his last start, the son of Arcadio will bid to recoup losses now, with Ellie Mac Thecraicisninety and Moonball the obvious dangers.
Elliott again looks to have strong claims with Batts Rock and Steel Cap in the Christmas Parties At Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle.
Placed on his first two efforts over timber, the former is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Steel Cap will need to improve on recent efforts if he is to feature.
The Sponsorship At Fairyhouse Handicap Chase appears a more open affair. Well Tom landed a gamble at Galway on his last start, and he should go close with Eoin Mahon taking 7lb off, while another to consider is Danali who was a good second over the course last week.
Conor Orr will be aboard Danali, and he takes the ride on Steelyeyed in the concluding Book Easter Festival Tickets Handicap Hurdle.
This Pat Martin-trained four-year-old looks to be up against it, with Fintown Boy the one to beat in this two-and-a-half-mile heat, as he also seeks a hat-trick.
Impressive point-to-point winner Honeysuckle is an interesting contender in the Fairyhouse Membership 2019 Now Available Mares Maiden Hurdle, while Poli Roi in first-time cheekpieces, might be able to take the Racing At Fairyhouse On New Years Day 2019 Beginners Chase.
