Luke McAteer was on board when Sure Cert made a winning handicap debut at Fairyhouse on Monday and the combination should go well again despite a 6lb rise. Everyhouronthehour battled on gamely at Gowran and is just 5lb higher but Fugacious has been a beaten favourite on heavy ground the last twice so better conditions may aid his cause. LADY SAVANAH’s only success came over this trip on fast ground. She’s been racing over 7f in testing conditions lately and providing the going doesn’t become heavy she can get back to winning ways.
