The BoyleSports Faugheen Novice Chase is the feature contest on a seven-race card at Limerick on St Stephen's Day and Jordan Gainford could steal the limelight on Farouk D’alene.
The 3lb claimer enjoyed a breakthrough success at Cheltenham in March when The Shunter won the Paddy Power Plate and now has his first ride in a Grade One, on what is also his return from injury having suffered a broken wrist in a fall last month.
Trained by Gordon Elliott, the Gigginstown House Stud-owned Farouk D’alene was a smart novice hurdler, beating Gavin Cromwell’s Vanillier in a Grade Two at this meeting 12 months ago, and made a winning chasing debut at Navan earlier this month.
But he will have to beat the Gavin Cromwell-trained Gabynako, who was second behind Beacon Edge in the Drinmore at Navan when last seen in action.
Here's all the runners and riders for Sunday's card:
