Richard Fahey trains the only British representative in Sunday’s Pierse Hurdle at Leopardstown in Bolodenka and admits his charge faces a tough task."It’s a competitive handicap, it always is," said Fahey."The owner is from Ireland and he was quite keen to enter him.
"At the moment we are out of the handicap but I’ve spoken to a trainer (who said) he might not run and if he came out, we’d only need another three to get a run and I might send him.
"The owner is quite keen and it’s a handicap hurdle we should be competitive in. We’re in there off 107 and we race off 115 over here because of the discrepancy between the English and Irish Handicappers.
"Generally the Irish man drops you 6lb, he has only dropped us 4lb as he was 111 at entry stage but we have gone up 4lb since so we are quite well-in as the weights go," he told At The Races.

Sanglote Pierse’s Prospects

Eoin Griffin is unconcerned about pitching Sanglote in the Pierse Hurdle, one of the biggest handicap hurdles of the winter, at Leopardstown on Sunday.The six-year-old is tackling this valuable contest after opening his account over jumps in a maiden hurdle at Limerick recently.Wearing blinkers for the first time, Sanglote landed an 18-runner event by two lengths under top Flat jockey Seamie Heffernan.
"He won nicely at Christmas and even though it was his maiden hurdle win, he has a lot of experience behind him," said the County Kilkenny trainer."He had a wind operation after his run in Listowel in September and it seems to have worked a treat with him."We’ll have the blinkers on him again and he has a nice weight and hopefully he can run a respectable race."I’m not sure yet if Seamie’s going to ride him again, but I’d be hopeful he will."It looks the top one (Newmill) is going to stay in so my horse will be at the right end of the handicap."
Sanglote is generally available at 20-1 for the Pierse.

Taken from todays irish independent…

"Their connections will no doubt be greatly encouraged by yesterday’s going update from Leopardstown general manager Tom Burke and indeed the Met Office’s forecast for the cold, dry spell to persist for a couple of days yet.

"The ground on the inside hurdle track being used on Sunday is yielding and it’s yielding to soft on the chase course. The weather is not expected to change until the weekend when they say it should become milder," Burke explained.

PS:I believe there is some rain on the way tho saturday nite/sunday day

Interesting comments on bible lord, some not impressed with jockey booking but there seems to have been a lot of money for him over the last few days. Was well fancied at chelt in march but never got into the race and finished 3rd or 4th. The question I would ask is…will he get into the race? I think he is 25th on the list of 5 day acceptors with only 20 guaranteed a run.
Does anybody know what is likely to be the cut off or are any of those higher up the handicap unlikely to run?

Hi anyone any idea what the max field is for the race? I’m guessing 20 or 22,my fancy is just outside this number!

I’m with Frozen Fire all the way..ticks all the boxes for me. Couldnt believe his price this morning. He has done nothing but improve at home since the derby…they are delighted with him. Ground and trip no problem, even tho trip has been reported as a concern (did he look like a non-stayer at the end of the irish derby?) Murtagh travelling to england is another plus, should be around 7/4 in my book…..GET ON!
