2nd December 2012

Yesterday was ultimately a good day with 4 winners from the previewed 8 races. The Hennessey did not go to plan with Bobs Worth proving himself and a full update for Cheltenham will come in due course. Hoping to continue the run, here are today's selections with a top class card from Ireland.

13.05 Fairyhouse

A very good affair, CHAMPAGNE FEVER should have enough to confirm his bumper form with Jezki, but the latter rates a big threat after a great start to hurdling. Minsk can also get involved here. 13/8 Stan James

13.35 Fairyhouse

DEDIGOUT looks a worthy favourite here, and if you were able to get him at 2/1 earlier in the week you should be especially pleased. Arvika Liegeonniere could be anything after a sensational debut over fences and will look to secure a quickfire double for connections, but the Gigginstown charge was equally impressive and will relish the conditions. 11/8 Betvictor

14.40 Fairyhouse

After a very disappointing reappearance, Voler La Vedette has something to prove, and even with her allowance I'm very happy to take her on. Zaidpour remains a threat, but it's MONKSLAND who I think can take this today. He looks set to prove very good over hurdles. 4/1 Boylesports, Stan James

Good luck!
