My first bet today sees me taking on another short priced option when Gordon Elliott lets Highland Crystal risk her unbeaten record in the 12.25pm at Fairyhouse.
A winner at Punchestown by 14 lengths and then in a Listed race at Newbury by over six lengths, she is taking on the Willie Mullins trained Triumph Hurdle fifth Place De La Nation but she gets a massive 9lb from that rival, plus jockey Paddy Cleary’s 7lb claim.
More importantly, the jolly last won when staying on well over two and three quarter miles at Thurles, and I am really hoping she will be tapped for speed dropping back to the two miles this afternoon.
