Who To Follow At Fairyhouse On Sunday - 17/04/22

Willie Mullins has taken a strong group of horses to Fairyhouse on Sunday looking to firm up the Irish trainers championship which makes him one to follow.

In the Grade One Mares Novice Hurdle Championship Final he is responsible for eight of the entries with his best chance looking to be the smart Brandy Love.

Another nice event he has runners in is the Novice Handicap Chase with Mt Leinster looking to make it back to back wins having broke his duck last time out.

In the feature Grade One Novice Gold Cup Galopin Des Champs looks very tough to beat if staying on his feet with Blue Sari also in the race looking to pick up place money.

Mullins heads into the meeting sporting a strike rate of 21% for the last two weeks, managing to land eight winners from his last 21 runners.

Mark Walsh has a lovely book of rides on Sunday and at the moment is riding out of his skin, putting up superb efforts at both the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals.

In the first event of the afternoon he sits on Gorgeous Suspect who should build on his debut third behind Martin Pipe winner Banbridge.

He rides Womalko in the Handicap Hurdle and then in the G1 Mares Novice Hurdle jumps back on Dinoblue looking to get back to the form of her debut run.

Walsh holds a huge chance in the Novice Chase over 2m5f with Stand Off holding leading form and then in the G1 Novice Gold Cup he gets the leg up on Blue Sari.
