Follow Fairyhouse On Social Media Handicap Chase (0-116)
2m 5f
Going: Soft to Heavy (Soft in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneThe in-form SWEET WILL can make the most of a lower mark back over fences here. The Dragon Pulse gelding has won his last two over timber, most recently at Cheltenham in November, and is now rated 115 over hurdles. He has a 10lb lower mark over the larger obstacles so it looks an obvious move to switch tack. Difficult Decision won well down in Limerick over Christmas and has to be respected here despite a 10lb rise for that victory. The Tack Room, who was fourth behind him then, could get a bit closer now on revised terms. Kalli's Quest, lightly raced for her age, ran well when third in her first handicap chase at Punchestown and has her chance again off a 2lb higher mark.
