Chasing Cars can motor home in Bumper

CHASING CARS is the nap choice to take the Bumper at the final stage of the Fairyhouse Easter Festival this afternoon.

Chasing Cars can motor home in Bumper

Jessica Harrington's charge has run two solid races and, as a son of Supreme Leader, should be well suited by the drying ground.

He began by finishing third behind Heron's Flight and Tranquil Sea, both winners subsequently, on this track in early December.

Then at Leopardstown at Christmas, Chasing Cars was again third, this time to Townabrack and Whatuhink. That form also received a boost when Whatuhink went on to score by 19 lengths at Naas next time.

On a day of real puzzles, Glencove Marina gets the vote in the Dunboyne Castle Hotel and Spa Novice Hurdle.

Successful in two bumpers, he made a winning start over flights with a bloodless success in a moderate maiden at Thurles last month.

That is nowhere near good enough in this class, at least in theory, but Willie Mullins' charge will handle the surface and will strip fresher than most of the opposition.

Old Flame could be the answer to a fiercely competitive Tattersalls Ireland Dan Moore Memorial Handicap Chase.

Again, he will go on the surface and warmed up for this with a reasonable effort over hurdles at Limerick.

Paul Nolan trains Old Flame and his Savitha is the choice in the Menolly Homes Handicap Hurdle. She won by nine lengths, on unsuitably testing ground, at Wexford and went up just 4lbs for that.
