Fairyhouse Race 1 - Tote Guarantee, Never Beaten By Sp Hurdle
Willie Mullins holds the key to this contest with both MACHO MAN (1) and PROACTIF (2) winning on their debuts at Auteuil in the Autumn. The first mentioned scored by 5L a 3600m hurdle before going for a break and is a leading chance again while the second noted opened his account four months ago also securing a 3600m hurdle victory and rates a player again. The market will guide towards their chances. QUINTA DO LAGO (3) won on his first two hurdle starts earlier in the campaign before finding things tough in the G2 Knight Frank Juvenile during Christmas at Leopardstown. Receives a drop in grade and will need to up his game against the Mullins pair. COMBS (4) remains a maiden after four outings and looks one for further down the line.

Resumes off a 30 day letup. Last outing won by 2.25 len Naas on December 15 over 3419m defeating Ritz Plan with 66.5kg at $251 in a hurdle. Start before finished ninth of 12 runners at Cork on November 23 over 3520m, 60 len behind Minella Academy with 66.5kg at $251. Comes into this in ordinary form. Might find this a bit too tough.

Last outing finished seventh of 10 runners at Leopardstown in the G2 Knight Frank Juvenile Hurdle on December 26 over 3218m, 31 len behind Narciso Has carrying 66kg at $21. Race before didn't finish the race at this track in the G3 on November 30 over 3218m. Has been racing well. Right in the mix if she is anywhere near right.
