Agent Boru21
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: J M Moore| T: T Gibney| C
11/1
Useful 127-rated handicap hurdler finished fourth of 18 on promising chasing debut at Naas over 2m3f on yielding ground last month. Open to improvement.

Any Second Now21
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: Mark Walsh| T: T M Walsh| OR:  143| BF
5/2
Handy 142-rated hurdler but is without success in six chase starts to date. Finished 1L adrift of Agent Boru last time out at Naas and unlikely to reverse places here.
3
Horse silk
Art Of Securityt6
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-12| J: N P Madden| T: N Meade
40/1
Possibly overrated 131 handicap hurdler unseated rider at the first on chasing debut in a Navan beginners contest on Sunday when sent off at 16/1. Looks vulnerable in this company.
4
Horse silk
Cherokee Bill17
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade
20/1
Best effort over hurdles when third in a heavy-ground maiden at Fairyhouse over 2m4f in January. Promising start to career over fences at Wexford and Fairyhouse when hitting the frame but may need to improve again.
5
Horse silk
7/2
Won a hurdle race in France and had been off since April 2016 prior to low-key start for champion trainer in 2m Grade 3 here in January when fourth of seven. Disappointed on debut in a Navan beginners contest last month.

Horse silk
Flawless Escape260
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| BF
5/2
Sent off the 13/2 favourite when last seen in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham festival eventually finishing a well beaten 20L behind Blow By Blow. Market possibly the best guide on chasing introduction.
7
Horse silk
Mash Potatop,t29
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-12| J: C J Orr(7)| T: N C Kelly
100/1
Only one win now in 24 starts over hurdles despite often being the subject of market support. Looks a little out of his depth on chasing debut.
8
Horse silk
20/1
Won a Down Royal hurdle when last seen in May and possibly best watched on chasing debut here, one for the notebooks.
9
Horse silk
Mortalt228
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: J P O'Brien
10/1
Useful 127-rated maiden hurdler and well behind Agent Boru in a Fairyhouse novice handicap hurdle in April. Looks up against it on chasing bow.
122-rated handicap hurdler was sent off favourite on chasing debut when disappointing before a second of nine beaten 6L behind Ben Dundee last month. Place claims on third start over fences.

12:15 Fairyhouse - 1 December 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Although the lower rated hurdler of the two last season, the Gordon Elliott-trained FLAWLESS ESCAPE can get off the mark over the larger obstacles on debut seeing off the attentions of the six-race chase maiden Any Second Now. The Noel Meade-trained Cherokee Bill who has shown snippets of ability in a couple of starts over fences to date, can grab the third place.
