Fairyhouse

Tuesday

• 1.55 Mary's Little Vic Has been running consistently of late and with seven pound claimer aboard she can finally get her head in front here.
• 2.25 Summit Meeting Should bounce back from disappointing on last start and his experience should stand to him here against his main rival Arvika Ligeonniere.

• 3.25 Instinctive Has the form to win this race and seven pound claimer should help his cause.
• 3.55 Nicanor Has been given a major form boost after An Cathaoir Mor's win in the Irish Arkle, should have too much in the tank for Kempes.
• 4.25 Got The Urge Was impressive when finally winning on last start and may now develop a taste for it.
• 4.55 Spruce Cottage Chance is taken with this newcomer from the stable who produced Silent Picture to win on his debut last weekend.
