Odds-on favourite Allegorie De Vassy, outpointed by Impervious at Cheltenham, should return to winning ways in the listed BoyleSports Mares Novice Chase on the opening day of the Fairyhouse Easter meeting.
This exciting, six-year-old mare has won four of her five starts since joining Willie Mullins, her two hurdles win including the Grade 3 ‘Solerina’ here last year, when beating classy stable-companion Brandy Love.
Significantly, the daughter of No Risk At All, who had always looked a future chaser, was pitched into Grade 2 company for her fencing bow at Limerick over Christmas and delivered in style, overcoming a couple of minor blips at the last two fences on the way to beating last week’s Ulster National winner Malina Girl by nineteen lengths.
