Fairyhouse tips: In Excess can get off the mark
PRIMED TO DELIVER: Sweet Will has winning form around Fairyhouse and can again strike at the Meath venue on Wednesday. Picture: Healy Racing
Fairyhouse’s meeting, last week lost to the weather, goes ahead Wednesday afternoon and In Excess can get off the mark in the Easter Festival Early Bird Maiden Hurdle. A French import, he was well backed on his Irish debut, on St Stephen’s Day in Limerick, and found only Foxy Girl too good.
While it was a good effort in defeat, it could be argued that he was given too much to do in conditions in which it was difficult to make up ground. He was galloping strongly at the line and gave the impression that with experience he could be well above average. In time, he may need a longer trip to be seen to best effect but ought to be up to winning over the minimum distance here.
