Fairyhouse Race 3

Easter Festival April 4Th - 6Th Rated Novice Hurdle

Stake: $31,032

STICWITHTHEPROCESS (4) placed at Punchestown last time. More impressive when a 1.75L winner at this track on reappearance while having run here three times is yet to miss the frame. Clearly enjoys the venue and could take beating once more. HERON'S BUTLER (3) won at Thurles two starts back and then produced another highly creditable effort when 1.25L second back there last time. Clearly in great form at present and set to give another bold showing. COYOTE SPIRIT (1) was a 4L third in a competitive Leopardstown handicap attempting latest. That form reads well and is easy to fancy. NELSON MUNTZ (2) stayed on for a 2L fourth at Leopardstown. That was good and the extra journey here will suit. Genuine threat to all.
