Harry Fry lines up double raid at Fairyhouse

Harry Fry is set to be double-handed in the Irish Stallions Farms EBF Mares Novice Hurdle Championship Final at Fairyhouse this weekend after confirming both Bitofapuzzle and Desert Queen for the Easter Sunday Grade One.

Bitofapuzzle ran a tremendous race in defeat when a close third in the OLBG Mares’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, while Desert Queen is set for a significant step up in class following impressive displays at Sandown and Fontwell.

A strong British contingent also includes the Alan King-trained The Pirate’s Queen and Peter Bowen’s Rons Dream.
