The Fairyhouse Winter Festival, with three Grade Ones and two Grade Threes, is fast approaching and trainer Gavin Cromwell, who has enjoyed a tremendous start to the winter National Hunt season, has his sights set on adding to that tally when the meeting takes place on December 2 and 3.
Although it feels as though Cromwell has been long established amongst the higher echelons of the training ranks, it has been a steady process, aided by some clever placing, which has brought him onto the coattails of the country’s leading trainers.
