Irish Racing Fairyhouse and Cork previews: Barry Geraghty tries for a rare National double on The Dell but he also looks to have an enviable ride in the main supporting race at Fairyhouse today.

Mutakarrim has to give weight all round in the Menolly Homes Novice Hurdle but Dermot Weld's versatile performer looks capable of doing just that.

Proven on extremes of ground, Mutakarrim returned from Dubai to run ninth to Back In Front at Cheltenham and is capable of better.

Paul Carberry has been hit with choices in the opening three races and in this Grade Two he has gone for Carlesimo from the Noel Meade team.

This one ran an eye-catching race behind Supreme Certainty on the flat at Leopardstown eight days ago and along with Glenhaven Nugget he looks to present the main threat to Mutakarrim.

Carberry has elected to ride Dashing Home in the opener with Geraghty stepping in for the mount on Harchibald.

Carberry might end up regretting the choice as Harchibald ran a good race for a long way at Liverpool until the dead ground started to take its toll.

However, the season's leading rider does look to have got it right in the second where he has gone for the El Gran Senor horse Moratorium rather than Michael Mor.

With the ground officially described as "good to firm" the conditions will be ideal for the Meade number one who is making a return to action.

Find The King returned to action at the Curragh when a fine third behind Beef Or Salmon. That was especially note-worthy since the O'Grady runner hadn't run in over four months.

He goes now in the €35,000 handicap hurdle and although near the top of the weights, Find The King has the weight for a reason.

Forrestfield ran fourth to Lights And Music over the course and distance at the start of the month and should strip fitter for that in the Beginners Chase.

In the novice handicap chase, Gardrum Park, runner up at Wexford on decent going previously, could worth an interest.

Cork hosts a Listed sprint that can fall to the Dermot Weld-trained Final Exam. The six-year-old has to concede the veteran tag to the cross-channel raider Repertory but his overall level of form gives him a leading chance. Very fast conditions would be a concern but the weather is forecast to break and Final Exam can benefit.
