Review fairyhouse 16th Dec

Willie Mullins secured a double at Fairyhouse when Colreevy justified odds-on favouritism in the ITBA Irish EBF 4-Y-O Fillies Race.

Patrick Mullins was motionless aboard his father's 4-11 market leader as she cruised into the lead in the straight, and though she appeared to show a touch of greenness once hitting the front, she strode on nicely to beat Owenacurra Lass by three and a quarter lengths.

The double started with the most emphatic winner on the card in Stormy Ireland who trounced his rivals in the Racing On New Years Day 3-Y-O Maiden Hurdle.

Danny Mullins sent the 2-7 favourite straight to the front and opened an enormous lead by half way, before keeping up the remorseless gallop to win by 58 lengths from North Carolina < Castlegrace Paddy proved far too strong for his rivals in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase.

Pat Fahy's 8-1 chance strode into the lead turning for home under Andrew Lynch and never looked back, stretching seven and a half lengths clear of Bravissimo

Noel Meade's Moulin A Vent was equally emphatic in landing the Happy Christmas From All At Fairyhouse Beginners Chase.

Sean Flanagan had the 5-4 favourite at the head of affairs for much of the contest and the grey stretched clear in the closing stages, easing to an 18-length success over Monbeg Notorious < Mount Hanover showed plenty of grit to land the Fenusave Choice Of Champions Maiden Hurdle.

Henry De Bromhead's 10-3 chance had to work to overhaul favourite Narcissistic but once he did by the last flight, he galloped on well for Dylan Robinson to beat Riverdene by a length and three-quarters.

Edward Cawley's Golden Jewel (20-1) caused an upset in the Book Easter Festival Tickets Online At Fairyhouse.ie Handicap Hurdle under Chris Timmons, while Dromore Lad (13-8 favourite) struck again for Dermot McLoughlin and Danny Hand in the Buy Your 2018 Fairyhouse Membership On Course Today Handicap Hurdle.
