Indeed.

There are a lot of poor jockeys plying their trade at a fairly high level in the UK. Fehily is certainly not one of them.

Yeah im prob comparing him to the way ruby walsh would have rode him which is unfair, plus I wanted him to win. coneygree v silvi conti v Vautor/Douvan/Jackadam at king George next year would be some race. They will prob only run coneygree the same way best mate was run.

If it's hotel accommodation you're after then look at the Westgrove in Clane or the Keadeen in Newbridge. You'd should be able to get a taxi to/from either to/from Naas for around €20 if you have a few drinks in Naas after racing.

Any tips for the weekend, apart from keep my money in my pocket!

See the New One ruled out of defending its title at Aintree.

Barry Geraghty also ruled out of Fairyhouse & Aintree through injury, hoping to be back for Punchestown.
