Ten Fires can burn off rivals

TEN FIRES is the nap choice to beat 24 rivals in the Early Bird Discounted Tickets For Easter Maiden Hurdle at Fairyhouse this afternoon.

Dessie Hughes’ charge comes here on the back of a decent effort at Navan four weeks ago and should take plenty of beating. He jumped and travelled beautifully through that contest and looked the most likely winner early in the straight.

But it is a long way home at Navan and, in the end, the selection’s stamina gave out and he was beaten two lengths into second by the durable Telenor.
