Going - Soft To Heavy, Heavy in Places (Hurdle), Soft To Heavy (Chase). Overcast

Formscan By Eamonn Murphy - I napped PADRAIC O CONAIRE when he finished third at Galway last time. The Mountain High gelding was due to run at Fairyhouse during the week but he didn't take part with a declared in error excuse. Justin O'Hanlon in the Racing Post said: "Spare a thought for trainer Yvonne Dunleavy. She had not saddled a winner for seven years but looked certain to do so when two of her horses were set to dominate the finish of a handicap hurdle at Galway just over two weeks ago when they were mugged close home. One of those was Padraic O Conaire, who came home in third, but looks to have a solid chance of going a couple of places better in the second division of the Book Easter Festival Tickets Online Handicap Hurdle. He looked a shade unlucky that day and he had earlier demonstrated a big run in a handicap hurdle was on the cards when beaten less than four lengths in a competitive heat at Thurles two starts back. A progressive looking five-year-old, he appears to handle most ground conditions and the step up in trip would seem unlikely to inconvenience him. With Paul Townend booked, he could take a lot of beating." Donie McInerney does the steering now and Padraic O Conaire should be there or thereabouts.
