TIMEFORM VIEW: This is by far the most exciting novice hurdle of the season to date. Willie Mullins, successful in 3 of the last 4 renewals, fields a trio of runners, headed by Champagne Fever PDF Form Guide - Free from attheraces.com with who has the potential to go right to the top of the tree in this sphere. However, preference is for Jezki who looked a horse going places when scoring at Naas last month. Minsk is also worth considering. 13:05 FAIRYHOUSE, 2m Timeform 1-2-3: 1: JEZKI Bar One Racing Royal Bond Novice Hurdle (grade 1) (Class 1) (4YO plus) 2: CHAMPAGNE FEVER 3: MINSK No Silk Form Horse Details Age/Wt Jockey/Trainer OR 1 12111-1 CHAMPAGNE FEVER 14 CD 5 11 - 10 R Walsh - W P Mullins g g Stowaway - Forever Bubbles Jockey Colours: Pink, light green spots, pink sleeves & cap Notes: Timeform says: Last season's leading bumper performer, landing Grade 1s at the Cheltenham and Punchestown Festivals.

Faces stiffer test here, but looks the one to beat.
