RACING:FAIRYHOUSE IS set to host the ante-post favourite for one of the Cheltenham championship races this Sunday as Noble Prince remains on course to run in the Grade Two feature. A memorable winner of the Jewson at last year's festival, Noble Prince is currently as low as 4 to 1 favourite for the Ryanair Chase in March.

Trainer Paul Nolan has been eyeing this weekend’s Grade Two Normans Grove Chase as a festival prep’ and Noble Prince is among an entry of just eight horses for the €37,500 race after yesterday’s forfeit stage.
