Fresh off saddling a winner in Downpatrick on Friday evening, Mark Fahey fires two darts at the €50,000 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Habitat Handicap over six furlongs in the Curragh today through Tina's Indian and I Bid You Ajou with 7lb claimers aboard both of them.

Tina's Indian's form figures at Headquarters read '131' and he should be sharper from a seasonal reappearance fourth in Gowran Park last month.

I Bid You Ajou has done all his winning in Fairyhouse, but was just pipped by a short head in second when last seen in Naas this month.

Fahey said: "One is at the top end of the handicap (Tina's Indian) and one is at the bottom end (I Bid You Ajou) and we are using the two boys at home, Joe (Harnett) and Reese (Holohan) - they are very good lads.

"We are going to give it a crack, they are hardened handicappers.

"Tina ran a very good race in the conditions race (in Gowran Park) which is after working out well.

"We are hopeful."
