15:15 Fairyhouse Tips — Sunday 5th April 2026

The 15:15 at Fairyhouse promises a fascinating contest over hurdles, but we’re siding firmly with the likely market leader, HES ON FIRE, to continue his upward trajectory and deliver another victory for the powerful W. P. Mullins and P. Townend combination.

This gelding arrives here in superb form, clearly demonstrating a significant step forward with his last-time-out win. That victory, following a string of progressive efforts, showcased his class and potential. Crucially, Hes On Fire isn't just winning; he’s doing so impressively, and the key trend highlights he's the top-rated horse in the entire field with an Official Rating of 138. This puts him head and shoulders above his rivals on paper, and in a competitive Hurdle like this, that class edge is often decisive on Good ground.

The fact he’s trading at EVS odds is a strong indicator of market confidence, and rightly so. He possesses the perfect blend of recent form, a superior rating, and trainer/jockey prowess to dominate here. For those looking for each-way value, Lazare De Star could be a lively outsider if he puts his best foot forward, but we firmly believe Hes On Fire is the one to beat and will be hard to oppose.
