Fulham Road benefiting from kid-glove treatment

Five rides, and probably not the strongest-looking book I’ve had, but that’s the nature of racing in the countdown to the Cheltenham.

I’m in Fairyhouse today for three rides, where I start off on Sure Reef. He looked like he could be a very good horse when he won a Grade Two novice hurdle at Leopardstown, but that was a long time ago and he has had plenty of problems.

His first run back, behind Supasundae, was probably an okay run, but his second, behind Jezki, was disappointing. He could be off a reasonable mark, but it looks a competitive race.
