Fairyhouse races don’t come any bigger than the Irish Grand National of 2025 on the final day of the track’s Easter Festival on Monday, 21 April. The Emerald Isle’s equivalent of the Aintree and Ayr showpieces we’ve seen in recent weeks is as late as it can be.<\/strong><\/p>\n Traditionally a three-day meeting, this year’s Easter Festival lost its opening day to torrential rain in Ireland. This caused waterlogging at the track and leaves the Easter Sunday card in doubt. That includes two Grade 1 races in the WllowWarm Gold Cup for novice chasers and Honeysuckle Mares Novice Hurdle.<\/p>\n Rain-softened ground in springtime suits some horses more than others. Easter Monday isn’t just about the Irish Grand National in 2025, but three Grade 2s including the John McInerney Memorial Fairyhouse Chase and a juvenile hurdle.<\/p>\n The Fairyhouse races during the Easter Festival provide plenty on horse racing betting sites<\/a> to wager on, if punters look across the Irish Sea. There are other handicaps and events of interest as well as the Emerald Isle’s most valuable handicap chase.<\/p>\n We turn to our horse racing experts for their analysis of the highlights across the Easter Sunday and Monday cards. Check out their thoughts from the respective days in Ireland below…<\/p>\n Springt De La Mare could have more to offer back at Fairyhouse races where he landed his chasing debut over course and distance. Conor Stone-Walsh now takes the ride and 3lb off with his claim. Cromwell also has\u00a0Path D’Oroux<\/strong>, but he’s relatively exposed compared to most in the field.<\/p>\n Nolan pair\u00a0Conyers Hill\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Release The Beast<\/strong> both finished sixth last time out, but both retain potential for further progress. The former came home behind Henry De Bromhead’s\u00a0Jasko Des Dames\u00a0<\/strong>in the Grand Annual at the Cheltenham Festival. Both can run from 2lb lower in Ireland than that day, so can have a say in the finish.<\/p>\n @PTownend<\/a> gets it right on board Spindleberry, who progressed through the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Colreevy Mares Novice Chase nicely, and picks off Bioluminescence at the last \ud83c\udfc6@WillieMullinsNH<\/a> | @IrishEBF_<\/a> | @Fairyhouse<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/07ZRkYU74G<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Horse Racing Ireland (@HRIRacing) February 22, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nFairyhouse Races Preview for Easter Sunday, 20 April – Gold Cup & Honeysuckle Mares Novice Hurdle<\/h2>\n

Gavin Cromwell and Paul Nolan run a couple with chances here. Preference is for the former’s\u00a0SPRINGT DE LA MARE<\/strong>, who may be worth forgiving her Limerick sixth last time. This six-year-old grey won his first couple of starts over fences prior to that.<\/p>\n2:22 – 2m 4f Grade 1 Gold Cup Novice Chase<\/h3>\n
