De Ferbet can overcome absence in Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners’ Chase

As De Ferbet can overcome an absence in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners’ Chase on this evening’s Midlands National card at Kilbeggan.

The now five-year-old made his debut for Willie Mullins at Thurles in November, and finished runner-up behind Aerlite Supreme. Next time out, in a four-runner event, he again finished second behind a Michael Hourigan-trained runner, The Job Is Right.

There was no shame in that defeat and with the benefit of a break, the grey gelding, who carries the colours of Gigginstown House Stud, should be ready to get off the mark over fences.
