Gripit to Tipit in punters favour

GRIM is just about the best word to describe what's on offer at Fairyhouse tonight. Large fields of mainly moderate horses is hardly an enticing prospect.

The nap vote falls on Charlie Swan's Gripit 'N Tipit, who is fancied to overcome a 79 day absence in the Carphone Warehouse Hurdle.

He hasn't run since falling at the sixth in the competitive handicap hurdle won by Charlies First at the Punchestown Festival in April.
