Not a betting race for me but I think the 1425 Fairyhouse could be a great battle between Oldschool Outlaw and Place de la Nation.

Bit of a toss up between the two but I prefer Oldschool Outlaw on my ratings , plus even though Place de la Nation was 5th the Cheltenham Triumph Hurdle Stakes, there has been no previous instances of any runners coming from that race to this Fairyhouse Solerina Mares Novice Hurdle Stakes 2m 2f 40y Grade3. Where as although unplaced in the Aintree Mares Standard Open National Hunt Flat Stakes 2m 209y Grade2 in April, runners form that race have a 4 out of 8 win strike when coming to this race.

Will the market show the way ? Oldschool Outlaw is currently 1.79 and Place de la Nation 2.48

Point of interest, winners of this race have a 5 out 9 (55.6%) strike when heading to the following Fairyhouse Honeysuckle Mares Novice Hurdle Stakes 2m 4f Grade 1 at the backend of April

Oldschool Outlaw moved well ahead after the last, so one to watch going to the Fairyhouse race in April.

Will Irish runners at Aintree and Sandown dwindle with the Irish trainers title in the air?

If Gordon take the Irish National, it could well be on.

Id say they’ll both be keeping a few back.

Real winner of all this is Dan Skelton.

Its to be considered but Willie will def target UK national hard and see neither not aiming best strings at Cheltenham

The easter Fairyhouse meet will be a winner too as it should see more competitive racing

Soon Geneva JP will own every horse in every race at Chelters, so much for competition.When are Racing authorities going to limit the number of horses in the same ownership. Think he had seven in the hcap chase at Leopards on Monday!
