Tullow Tank to roll out at Fairyhouse

Updated: Monday, 03 Nov 2014 12:47 | Comments The Tullow Tank is the big attraction at Fairyhouse on Tuesday

The Tullow Tank is the star attraction at Fairyhouse as he makes his debut over fences in the Fairyhouse Membership 2015 On Sale Now Beginners Chase.

Formerly in the care of Philip Fenton, the six-year-old landed the Royal Bond at this venue before enhancing his reputation with another top-flight success at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting.

A subsequent defeat at the hands of Vautour did little harm to his impressive CV and given he has always looked a chaser in the making, his new trainer Dessie Hughes will be hoping he can take high rank in the novice division.

Hughes looks to have another leading chance in the opening I.N.H Stallion Owners EBF Novice Hurdle (12.55) with Sheamus, a well-backed winner over this course and distance last month and seemingly on a steep upward curve, having landed a quickfire bumper double previously.

He won't have things all his own way, however, with Time For A Pint taking the eye on his return, and he impressed when winning over 2m here back in May. Cillian's Return takes a marked drop in class and is also respected.

A big run from the Noel Meade-trained hurdling debutant Wildebeest would not surprise in the Book Online At Fairyhouse.ie Maiden Hurdle, where Marys Choice makes her first start over timber following a narrow defeat at the hands of Meade's Snow Falcon in a bumper here.

Progressive chaser Foritsa could be worth sticking with now reverting to hurdles off a significantly lower mark in the Book Your Christmas Party At Fairyhouse December 20th Handicap Hurdle, while there should be plenty more to come from lightly-raced Tipperary winner Better B Quick in the Sponsor A Race At Fairyhouse Call 018256167 Handicap Chase.

The Your Club's Fundraiser At Fairyhouse, Enquire Today Beginners Chase sees dual hurdle winner King Leon tackling fences for the first time, but he takes on promising Limerick maiden hurdle winner Lord Adare, who could have a bright future in this code.
