RACING:Conditions are sure to be testing at Fairyhouse this afternoon but that should only help Silver Tassie and Nina Carberry make it third time lucky in the finale.

A promising third on his Gowran debut, the Noel Meade-trained horse then ran like some extra distance could help him when runner-up in another bumper at Down Royal to Gilt Shadow.

Silver Tassie gets an extra quarter mile today and that can assist him in getting the better of the Galway runner- up Lots Of Memories and the Navan runner-up Defy Logic.

Another Mullins French import Twigline, carries the Quevega and Thousand Stars colours in the second maiden hurdle.
