The first race on Saturday’s card in Fairyhouse is a beginners’ chase but it may be the most interesting race of the entire weekend in Ireland as Willie Mullins saddles three horses all rated 144 or greater over hurdles.
Two of them – Tullyhill and Asian Master – won a point to point, but they may have to give best to stablemate Majborough, who won last season’s Triumph Hurdle.
