Fairyhouse Race 3 - Willowwarm Gold Cup (Grade 1)

Feature race on the card. CHAMP KIELY (1) made a winning chase debut here before a G1 fourth at the Dublin Racing Festival preceding an easy 8L victory in the 3200m G3 Flyingbolt Novice Chase at Navan six weeks ago. Top chance. SPINDLEBERRY (6) bids for a hat-trick after a 6.5L success among Listed company at this track tackling 4400m during February. Likely player. ILE ATLANTIQUE (4) is a top-class performer having won by 5L attempting G2 level two outings back at Naas. Every chance. DOWN MEMORY LANE (2) indicated plenty of potential. Interesting.
