Saturday’s Fairyhouse Horse Racing Betting Tips and Odds

13:07 Fairyhouse - Walhaan @ 8/1
13:45 Fairyhouse - Fils D’oudairies @ 10/1
14:51 Fairyhouse - Spirit Of Legend @ 10/1

13:07 Fairyhouse - Walhaan @ 8/1

King Alexander is going to be popular on debut for Willie Mullins but there is a chance that Walhaan may represent some value.

This son of Dark Angel bounced back to form when fourth of 18 at Thurles last time out and he is certainly a horse that would appreciate a return to a slower surface.

Walhaan is a bit better than his strike-rate suggests in this sphere and with his handicap mark left unchanged, he may be capable of hitting the frame again in a race that lacks depth.

13:45 Fairyhouse - Fils D’oudairies @ 10/1

American Mike finds himself at the head of the betting market for the Grade 3 Handicap Chase on Fairyhouse’s card on Saturday afternoon and he looks a bit vulnerable at the top of the betting having been turned over when favourite for his last two outings, and two miles and one furlong probably isn’t his trip at this stage of his career.

He might be worth taking on with an each-way play in the form of his stablemate Fils D’oudairies who looks overpriced on his belated return to the larger obstacles.

This 10-year-old shaped like he was in need of his reappearance at Leopardstown last month when a distant fourth in a Grade 1 over timber and there must be a chance he takes a big step forward from that first run in over a year here.

Gordon Elliott’s charge had shown plenty of promise in this sphere earlier in his career before losing his way to some extent but he’s improved over timber subsequently and he could be very well treated from his 12lb lower chase mark as a result.

Sam Ewing, who has been in fine form for his boss Elliott after Jack Kennedy’s injury, seemingly prefers him to American Mike and it would be no surprise to see him go off a similar price to his stablemate come post time.

14:51 Fairyhouse - Spirit Of Legend @ 10/1

The ground is set to be pretty testing at Fairyhouse this weekend and that could really suit Spirit Of Legend whose best form has come on this sort of ground.

Henry de Bromhead’s representative had been struggling since switching to fences but there were definite signs he was getting the hang of things when fifth of nine runners at this venue last time out.

He still made a few errors but there should be more to come in this sphere, particularly on this sort of ground, while going up in trip may also help him in the jumping department.
