Newsboy's ITV4 selections for Fairyhouse on Monday plus tips from every UK race

MALINA GIRL is fancied to give Gavin Cromwell another career landmark with a win in the BoyleSports Irish Grand National Chase (5.00) at Fairyhouse on Easter Monday.

The daughter of Malinas went off at 14-1 for the Ultima Handicap Chase at Cheltenham last month and stayed on into third behind Myretown.

My selection looked as though a stiffer test of stamina would suit, and heavy rain in Co Meath during Easter Weekend is another plus.

Earlier on the card, top weight may not be enough to anchor FARMERS LODGE, who seeks a hat-trick in the Fairyhouse Steel Handicap Hurdle (3.15).

Hot favourite HEART WOOD should be hard to stop in the Grade 2 Jack McInerney Memorial Fairyhouse Chase (4.20), while SPREAD BOSS TED gets the vote for the same-level Rathbarry & Glenview Studs Hurdle (3.50).

At Kempton Park, OKEECHOBEE is expected to make a winning return to the fray in the Listed Virgin Bet Daily Price Boosts Magnolia Stakes (2.55).

Also having his first start of 2025 is COUP DE FORCE, who appeals despite having to give the weight away in the Virgin Bet Every Saturday Money Back Handicap (4.40).

Rossa Ryan has strong prospects of an ITV4 double, courtesy of MERCURY DAY in the Virgin Bet Best Odds Daily Fillies' Handicap (3.30) and SUPREME KING in the Virgin Bet Daily Extra Places Handicap (4.05).

A classy field assembles for Plumpton’s BetGoodwin Sussex Champion Chase Handicap Chase (2.35), with preference for Paul Nicholls’ SANS BRUIT, who has the scope to overcome a 9lb rise for his win in Aintree’s Red Rum Handicap Chase.
