Fairyhouse Race 5 - Winter Festival Tickets On Sale Now Mdn Hurdle
SAY IT STRAIGHT (12) is on debut representing the Willie Mullins stable and has winners in the family. Any runner from this yard commands the highest respect and she finds a good opportunity to score on debut. WHO'S GOING (8) managed to take a step forward on soft ground at Roscommon during August and will improve fitness wise. Major player. REBEL REBA (10) won nicely a point to point last October and joined the best stable around. Open to improvement fitness wise but she makes the shortlist. GUNNERY SERGEANT (4) brings plenty of experience but is exposed. Needs a personal best to score against unexposed rivals.
