CHELTENHAM Festival winner Love Envoi tops a strong entry of 23 horses for the Grade 1 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Novice Hurdle Championship Final on Easter Sunday, April 17th, the middle day of the Fairyhouse Easter Festival.
The Harry Fry-trained six-year-old stretched her unbeaten run to six when landing the Grade 2 Ryanair Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle last week.
Should Love Envoi travel, she will again face strong opposition from Willie Mullins who is responsible for 13 of the 23 entries for the €100,000 event.
There are also 23 entries for the Grade 1 Fairyhouse Gold Cup Novice Chase and a potential box-office rematch between the Willie Mullins-trained Galopin Des Champs and Henry de Bromhead’s Bob Olinger is on the cards.
The early line up also includes Cheltenham Festival first and second, Stattler and Run Wild Fred.
