Droopys can reward Easter faith on night of top class Irish action
TOP class Irish racing headlines the Saturday action with star billing going to Shelbourne Park which has the €30,000 final of the track bookmakers-sponsored Easter Cup over 550 yards at 9.15.
Ian Fortune's race-by-race preview is linked below, suffice to say his selection in the feature is the Daniel O'Rahilly-trained Droopys Faithful.

Nap on on the card, however, is Pat Buckley's Unanimous Leo who has a great chance to end a losing run in the supporting 9.50 over 550 yards having been short-headed in the heats over 525 yards last week.
Limerick has the Con & Annie Kirby Memorial quarter-finals which Fortune has also previewed with his chief selections being Graham Holland's Bockos Gold (8.18) and Mark Robinson's Getup The Boy (9.06).
