Age: 13|  Weight: 11-10| J: P E Corbett| T: P Griffin| OR:  107| D
20/1
Better known for his exploits over fences and ran well to finish fifth in the Becher Chase at Aintree (3m2f, heavy) last time out. Rated much lower over hurdles but usually finds a few too good.

Nicat's Benefit44
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-8| J: Mr L P Gilligan(4)| T: Miss E Lalor| OR:  105| D
33/1
Winner twice at Clonmel last year but struggled in the main of late and returns to hurdles having pulled up over fences at Tramore last time.
3
Horse silk
Allez Kal14
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-7| J: C A Landers(4)| T: J Barcoe| OR:  104| D
7/1
Victorious in a handicap hurdle at Limerick (3m, heavy) on his penultimate outing. Fair effort at Punchestown subsequently and this return to 3m looks likely to suit.
4
Horse silk
Capture The Drama13
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-7| J: B Browne(4)| T: Aengus King| OR:  104| C| D
20/1
Seven time winner including in a handicap chase over 3m1f here earlier this month. Disappointed over hurdles subsequently but worth a check in the market today.
5
Horse silk
Sir Ector31
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-6| J: Liam McKenna(4)| T: Nicole McKenna| OR:  103| D
25/1
Finished third to Allez Kal when contesting a handicap hurdle over this trip at Limerick (heavy) last time out. Races off a 1lb lower mark but work to do if he's to reverse that form.
6
Horse silk
Poormans Hill55
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-2| J: C D Meehan(4)| T: G Elliott| OR:  99| BF| D
11/8
Successful on his first four starts since joining this stable last September. Held off higher marks over fences of late but is one for the shortlist off his much lower hurdles rating.
7
Horse silk
Battling Spirith51
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-12| J: Katie O'Farrell(4)| T: Jonathan Sweeney| OR:  95
7/2
Broke his maiden at the tenth time of asking when victorious over an extended 2m3f at Clonmel (soft-to-heavy). Steps up in trip racing off a 9lb higher mark today.
8
Horse silk
Emmas Dilemmap131
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-11| J: D Robinson(2)| T: Miss E Doyle| OR:  94
11/1
Placed over hurdles and shaped with promise behind Allez Kal when making her handicap debut at Limerick (3m, heavy) last time out. Market support would be interesting in first time cheekpieces.
9
Horse silk
Itsallhappening30
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-6| J: A W Short(4)| T: N Meade| OR:  89
8/1
Maiden after nine starts and failed to complete on his last three outings. Still held chances when unseating four out last time but looks a risky proposition at present.
10
Horse silk
Zagnzigh132
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-3| J: S J Crimin(4)| T: H Smyth| OR:  86
16/1
13 race maiden and stepping up in trip having finishing seventh in a 2m handicap hurdle at Down Royal (heavy) last time. Wears a hood for the first time today.
11
Horse silk
Maureen's Star32
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-0| J: J B Kane(4)| T: L Lennon| OR:  87
33/1
Maiden after 11 starts and failed to figure in two outings since returning to rules following a couple of point-to-point starts in October.

Forecasts

Poormans Hill (11/8), Battling Spirit (7/2), Allez Kal (7/1), Itsallhappening (8/1), Emmas Dilemma (11/1), Zagnzig (16/1), Portrait King (20/1), Capture The Drama (20/1), Sir Ector (25/1), Maureen's Star (33/1), Nicat's Benefit (33/1)

16:25 Fairyhouse - 27 January 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

POORMANS HILL can take advantage of his much lower hurdles mark by taking the concluding handicap hurdle contest. The selection was in good form back in the autumn and won off a mark 7lb higher than he races off today over fences in November. Allez Kal should appreciate this return to 3m while the lightly raced Emmas Dilemma can claim third having put in a decent effort on handicap debut last time.
  1. Poormans Hill
  2. Allez Kal
  3. Emmas Dilemma
