On a hat-trick, Highdownhill favourite for Fairyhouse’s Caffrey´s Bar And Restaurant Of Batterstown Handicap Chase (Grade C)
Bred by Keltern Stud Ltd in New Zealand, Niall Madden’s 7-year-old, Highdownhill, is on song at the moment, and has reached Fairyhouse in great shape. The John P. McManus-owned is truly a progressive sort, strongly fancied to complete his hat-trick by winning
the Caffrey´s Bar And Restaurant Of Batterstown Handicap Chase (Grade C), this Sunday.
After facing a few terrible defeats, the son of Montjeu put his campaign on the winning track in August. The audience at Roscommon saw him beating the 9-2 favourite, Moving On, by three and a half lengths in the J. F. Hanley Handicap Hurdle. His progressive
journey came to a halt in September, when he pulled up in the Ladbrokes Handicap Hurdle at Listowel.
Not letting things get worse, the dashing horse took a couple of fine wins at Punchestown. After proving too good for the rivals in Ingoldsby (Q.R.) Handicap Chase, the dangerous fellow carried forward his momentum, and notched up the first place by half
a length in the www.punchestown.com For Better Value Handicap Chase last month.
Having bagged two straight wins, Highdownhill is in superb rhythm at the moment. So, there is no reason why he should not add another win to his tally. He is up against 11 rivals over a distance of three miles and five furlongs. As per the plan, the meeting
will be kicked off at 15:10 GMT. The prize money for the victor is €18,525.
Jadanli is due to target more valuable prizes. Paul John Gilligan’s charge has a role to play, but it is better to prefer a few others. Action Master loves this sort of surface, but boasts much weaker profile than many others.
Our Victoria is respected, because she has a decent record here. However, there is no need to trust her blindly. Droim Toll’s recent form is not enough to write home.
Give Us A Hand is likely to get some support, as he looks progressive. Bangonform is hard to overlook. According to our predictions, the D. E. Fitzgerald-trained would come up with a solid show. Tarquinius has a squeak just because Gordon Elliott’s yard
is in good form these days.
