Angus McNae: best bets for Fairyhouse and Huntingdon on Sunday

Last Updated: Fri 14 Jul 2023

This Sunday, Racing TV brings you the superb card from Fairyhouse where there are three Grade One contests to savour.

We will also be covering all the action from Kelso and Huntingdon, with the latter course staging the Grade Two Fitzdares Peterborough Chase.

I have four selections, three of them trained by Willie Mullins.

12.25 Fairyhouse: Zarak The Brave

Acronym

16:20 Wexford

J: Miss Lizzie O'Neill

T: Gordon Elliott

Finished: 2ndSP: 7/2

Fairly useful on the Flat in France, this Mullins-trained gelding made an impressive start to his hurdling career when winning on debut here at Fairyhouse by ten lengths. He sped clear from two out, recording a top-class speed figure for a juvenile.

He has been given more than three weeks to recover from that big effort and, rather than recoil, I expect him to step forward now and prove even sharper. His main rival is Comfort Zone, but he faces a quick turnaround after an impressive win just six days ago at Navan.

Jane Mangan's top tips for Fairyhouse on Sunday.

1.25 Fairyhouse: Champ Kiely

Finished: 6thSP: 14/1

I put this horse up as my horse to follow for the season in the Racing TV magazine at the start of the season and Grade One success awaits him now. His two wins this season at Galway and Tipperary over different distances were both wildly impressive to the eye and his speed figure at Tipperary last time was striking.

In the latter race he easily beat the Cheltenham Festival winner Brazil, who then went on to comfortably land a Grade Three event himself. To further boost the form the fourth in that race, beaten some ten lengths, went on to win a Listed hurdle. Champ Kiely is an exciting prospect whose two wins this season over different trips and at tracks with different configurations make him not just very useful, but versatile as well.

2.55 Huntingdon: Pic D’Orhy

Finished: 1stSP: 6/1

Paul Nicholls has his horses in tremendous form and he can land the Peterborough Chase with his smart gelding. First Flow may well go off favourite, meaning that 11-4 or bigger could be available about this novice last season and is a classy individual.

He was a dual Grade Two winner last season as a novice and this sharp track should suit his strong travelling style. He had a nice pipe opener at Newton Abbot in mid-October, where he was not hard pressed and didn’t have a hard race in coming home an easy winner. That should have blown away the cobwebs and he can step up to their mark here in much better company.

Irish horse racing tips: Johnny Ward's bets for Fairyhouse.

3.05 Fairyhouse: Icare Allen

Finished: 6thSP: 3/1

This horse looks well-handicapped off a mark of 140. It’s his first season in open company after proving himself to be a leading juvenile last season. He boasts a fourth in what was a stellar renewal of the Triumph Hurdle and he won a Grade Three over this course and distance, where he beat Prairie Dancer very easily.

That horse has subsequently won comfortably off a mark of 132, which makes the Icare Allen’s rating look favourable. The fact that Mullins looks to exploit his handicap mark, rather than take in Graded stakes company, is a tip in itself.

OLDSCHOOL OUTLAW a big player for the Mares' Novice after Fairyhouse win | Full Replay | Racing TV

Oldschool Outlaw is likely to be part of Gordon Elliott’s Cheltenham Festival squad judged on a thoroughly impressive victory in the BetVictor Solerina Mares Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse. Formerly trained by Garry Caldwell, the six-year-old won a Listed bumper at Navan on her debut for new connections before claiming the notable scalp of last season’s Champion Bumper heroine Bambino Fever on her hurdling bow at Naas in December. Those victories were enough to see JP McManus secure her services and the daughter of Walk In The Park was the 1-2 favourite to get off to a winning start in the leading owner’s famous green and gold silks at Grade Three level in County Meath. After tracking the Willie Mullins-trained Place De La Nation for much of the two-and-a-quarter-mile journey, Oldschool Outlaw edged in front in the back straight and asserted from the home turn to score by nine lengths. The owner’s racing manager Frank Berry said: “She jumped great and Mark (Walsh) said she felt good and quickened up lovely after the last. You could only be pleased with what she did. “She seemingly handles that ground very well. He was impressed with the way she picked up. You couldn’t be happier with her.” #horseracing #fairyhouse Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!

History-maker! The first black female jockey to ride a winner over jumps | Aamilah Aswat | Kempton

Aamilah Aswat made turf history at Kempton Park when becoming the first female black jockey to ride a winner over jumps. The 20-year-old partnered 9-1 chance Guchen to a length and a quarter success in the Best Odds Guaranteed Overnight At CopyBet Handicap Hurdle over two miles and five furlongs. The same horse had provided Aswat with her first ever ride in public, also at Kempton Park, when finishing fifth in a similar contest back in November. Speaking after her success today, Aswat said: “He gave me a great feeling all the way round and always felt like he had plenty left. “It just feels amazing to get a winner and so soon as well. I am very thankful to all the connections – the owners and the two trainers. Guchen jumped really well and I was so happy with him.” Speaking about her route to riding as a professional Jump jockey, Aswat added: “It has been rocky, but I have stuck with it and it has been so rewarding. Hopefully, there will be many more winners. “If it wasn’t for the Ebony Horse Club, I wouldn’t have progressed in my race riding career so far. I am very thankful to them.” #horseracing #equine #horses Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!

Albert Bartlett winner DOCTER STEINBERG impresses at Leopardstown! | Full Replay | Racing TV

Doctor Steinberg maintained his perfect record over hurdles with a comprehensive victory in the Nathaniel Lacy & Partners Solicitors Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown. Hot on the heels of wins at Galway and Navan, where he accounted for subsequent Grade Two winner Thedeviluno, the Willie Mullins-trained Doctor Dino gelding again demonstrated his liking for obstacles when galloping home eight lengths clear in the hands of Paul Townend. Yeshil made the early running, but the 7-4 favourite took up the running two out and quickly put the race to bed, with Kazansky staying on for second.
