Fairyhouse will stage a top-quality card on Easter Sunday, providing the track passes an early morning inspection. Two Grade Ones races headline the action, with two Graded races for novice hurdlers and a couple of handicaps supporting the co main-event.

Here are our best betting tips for Fairyhouse on Easter Sunday.

Fairyhouse Tips - Sunday 20th April


1:22pm Fairyhouse - Novice Handicap Hurdle Tips


STAY GOLD (12/1) is yet to finish better than fourth in his six starts over hurdles, but Ciaran Murphy will be encouraged by his last couple of performances. Liam McKenna's mount was tried over three, two-and-a-half and two miles at the start of the season, before running on well to finish fifth on his handicap debut at Punchestown in November.

Murphy's novice got hampered at crucial moment when ninth at Leopardstown over Christmas, and got caught too far off the pace on his most recent effort at Punchestown before staying on to finish fourth. Stay Gold handles soft ground and if better than his results would suggest. He just needs to put everything together.

1:52pm Fairyhouse - Novice Handicap Chase Tips


Plenty hold chances in this novice's handicap and I'm most keen to side with MISS PRONUNCIATION (11/1) at an each-way price. Mark Walsh's mount showed a clear liking for this track over hurdles last season, completing a hat-trick with an emphatic six-length victory on heavy ground in February, for which she received an RPR of 131.

Padraig Roche's mare had no chance behind Willie Mullins horses on her first three starts in Beginners Chases and fell when too far back to challenge at Naas in January. Miss Pronunciation bounced back from that tumble with a solid effort at Gowran Park last month, where she kept on to finish third behind pillar-to-post winner, Champagne Mahler.

Rebel Gold stayed on best to place second that day and has boosted the form with a victory of her own since. If the return to Fairyhouse and heavy ground brings about improvement in Miss Pronunciation, then she's well-treated off this chasing mark of 122.

4:10pm Fairyhouse - Honeysuckle Mares Novice Hurdle Tips


The Big Westerner ran a cracker behind Jasmin De Vaux in the Albert Bartlett and her proven stamina will come in handy on testing ground. Much to my delight, Air Of Entitlement got the better of Sixandahalf in the Mares' Novice at Cheltenham and will reoppose on Sunday. Maughreen lost her chance at the start that day and Patrick Mullins will be hoping for a shot at redemption.

KAROLINE BANBOU (16/1) started much better than Maughreen at Cheltenham, sitting in the second rank along the rail early on. Coming down the hill, Mark Walsh took aim at the leaders, but his mount couldn't find the extra gear that Air Of Entitlement did and crossed the line a one-paced fourth.

Willie Mullins' mare won a Grade 3 AQPS flat race in France on heavy ground and the going was testing when she romped to victory in her maiden here at Fairyhouse. Both of her siblings have won Graded flat races on bottomless ground too, so Sunday's ground should suit Karoline Banbou perfectly. 18/1 is too big of a price.
