Review fairyhouse 14th Jan

Gordon Elliott and Davy Russell bagged a double at Fairyhouse when landing the feature race on the card, the Bar One Racing Dan Moore Memorial Handicap Chase with Doctor Phoenix

The market only spoke in favour of Acapella Bourgeois but he was quickly out of contention at the end of the back straight and though Kilcarry Bridge made a bold bid from the front, he was collared approaching the last by Doctor Phoenix (13-2), who bounded clear on the run-in to score by nine lengths.

Elliott and Russell's double started when Mitchouka got back to winning ways in fine style when landing the Promote Your Business At Fairyhouse In 2018 Hurdle.

The four-year-old had finished behind Espoir D'Allen on his last two starts and justified even-money favouritism in good style, quickening clear after the last and beating stablemate Veneer Of Charm by eight lengths.

Elliott and Russell looked like bagging another winner when De Plotting Shed hit the front between the final two obstacles in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase, but their bid was foiled by Willie Mullins Saturnas (8-11 favourite), who got back up after the last to score by a length and a quarter under Paul Townend.

Mullins bagged a double when Tornado Flyer (evens favourite) won the Next Racing At Fairyhouse January 17th Flat Race under Patrick Mullins.

Jessica Harrington's Close Shave (6-5 favourite) also denied Elliott and Russell as Barry Geraghty conjured up a tremendous run after the last to deny Ballela Boy and land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Rated Novice Chase.< Minnies Secret (6-5) made it two wins on the spin with victory in the Book Easter Festival Tickets Online At fairyhouse.ie Mares Maiden Hurdle for trainer Charles Byrnes and jockey Donal McInerney.

Dermot McLoughlin's Dromore Lad (3-1 favourite) just edged out Fitzhenry in a thrilling duel for the Fairyhouse Members 2018 Handicap Hurdle, winning by a head under Danny Hand.
