Rachael Blackmore: my rides at Fairyhouse on Saturday

Daisy Fingall is set to make her racecourse debut in the mares’ maiden hurdle. She’s a half-sister to Captain Guinness, and she seems like a nice mare.

It will be her first ever run, so obviously she should improve for the experience, but her schooling has been good so we’re looking forward to getting her started.

I ride Lets Go Champ in the Dan & Joan Moore Memorial Handicap Chase.  It’s a really competitive race, but we hope that he can go well

He was very good in winning a competitive handicap chase at the Punchestown Festival in May, and he ran well for a long way in the Galway Plate. He put up another really good performance in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham in November, when he finished a good third behind Il Ridoto and Ga Law.

He has just turned 10, but he’s very lightly raced for his age. He has been in good form at home since Cheltenham, and we’re hoping for a good run.

Harry Des Ongrais hasn’t run for a while - he has had his issues and missed all of last season - but he seems to be in really good form at home and it’s great to have him back now, making his debut over fences.

He won his only point-to-point and he did well over hurdles two seasons ago. This is a good beginners’ chase, and obviously he should build on whatever he does here - he hasn’t run since April 2023. But he’s a really nice horse, his schooling over fences has been good and we’re looking forward to seeing how he goes.
