Bolodenka for the Pierse Richard Fahey trains the only British representative in Sunday's Pierse Hurdle at Leopardstown in Bolodenka and admits his charge faces a tough task. "It's a competitive handicap, it always is," said Fahey. "The owner is from Ireland and he was quite keen to enter him. "At the moment we are out of the handicap but I've spoken to a trainer (who said) he might not run and if he came out, we'd only need another three to get a run and I might send him. "The owner is quite keen and it's a handicap hurdle we should be competitive in. We're in there off 107 and we race off 115 over here because of the discrepancy between the English and Irish Handicappers. "Generally the Irish man drops you 6lb, he has only dropped us 4lb as he was 111 at entry stage but we have gone up 4lb since so we are quite well-in as the weights go," he told At The Races.
