Barry Geraghty was in the news for the wrong reasons at Limerick on Sunday but will be hoping to bounce back when he reunites with retained owner JP McManus in the Bobbyjo Bistro Great Food Great Deals Novice Handicap Hurdle at Fairyhouse on the Tom Mullins-trained That's A Wrap

That's A Wrap was a well-backed winner when last seen at Punchestown in February and, being an unexposed five-year-old, appears the type who should continue to do well in handicap hurdles.

The son of Scorpion has been raised 8lb following his win but looks well capable of winning from his revised 100 mark. Opposing That's A Wrap are three other last time out winners One Can Cally Edvardo and Theo while also in contention are consistent top weight The Mulcare Rover and capable Blazing West

Gold Cup-winning trainer Gordon Elliott is well represented at the fixture with five runners and his Le Grand Chene is likely to prove popular in the www.fairyhouse.ie Handicap Chase.

A winner last time out at Downpatrick, the son of Turgeon has been raised 4lb for the win and will seek his ninth career victory. Dancing Meadows is another of Elliott's Downpatrick winners and has claims on her chasing debut in the concluding mares' beginners chase but might find the more experienced Missyspet too strong.

The Michelle Gannon-trained runner was a faller at Gowran last time out but prior to that finished second twice and chased home two useful sorts in McKinley and Uranna, at Fairyhouse and Thurles in January and February respectively.

The Paul Nolan-trained 123-rated Fine Article might be good enough to win the Follow Fairyhouse On Social Media Beginners Chase, having proven himself a capable type in his 13 race-career thus far. He might get the better of Elliott's Dallas Cowboy who makes his fencing bow having been pulled up on his most recent handicap hurdle start.
