The old Ladbroke Hurdle (Coral.ie Hurdle?) at Leopardstown, on the first day of the new 2-day Festival in early February.
€100,00 added, so similar value to Sunday's event at Fairyhouse.

Maybe, or they may look at protecting his mark now and they've got the Coral Cup at the Festival in their sights.
Did occur to me that the Festival might be the aim, Paul........though the Leopardstown Hurdle similar value to both Coral Cup and County.
Might be one to follow off the cliff over the rest of the season.
Yep......McManus will have any amount of them being primed for the Festival handicaps.
Couldn't spot any comments on him, but Downtown Getaway deserves a mention for his bumper win. A few runners disappointed, but he did it emphatically and the race has a bit of history (Getabird, Identity Thief, Outlander). One for the tracker
I thought he was going well enough until Meri Devie seemed to veer into him heavily, I think after 3 out. I think that made Geraghty's mind up that todays not the day.
Although it could easily be that he was simply out for the spin.
He really is some pig of a jumper. Some engine though!!!
One I took out of Sunday was Cilaos Emery. He traveled very kindly for much of the race and wasn’t knocked about. Could be being lined up for one of the handicaps in March.

The winner is the horse to take out of the race.
How many horses have won 100k handicap hurdles after stopping into the last two jumps anyone ?... The Iliad winning this race in 1986 comes to mind but that is a long time ago.
Are we talking about David's Charm here?

Still a novice so they might try to bag one at Limerick over Christmas.
