Sandra Hughes, daughter of the late Dessie Hughes, will have the first runners in her name at Fairyhouse on Wednesday.

Hughes passed away at the weekend following a battle with cancer and his daughter has now taken over the licence at the Osborne Lodge yard.

She will saddle Blue Bicycle in the Christmas Party Race Day On 20th December At Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle before sending out Wrath Of Titans in the Fairyhouse Membership 2015 Maiden Hurdle and Bold Conquest in the Boylesports Irish Grand National @ Fairyhouse Handicap Hurdle.

Wrath Of Titans looks to face a tough test lining up against Shaneshill winner of the Champion Bumper at Punchestown and second in the Cheltenham equivalent.

The Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old turned the tables on his Cheltenham conqueror Silver Concorde closer to home and rates as one of the most exciting prospects in the novice hurdling division this season.

His Cheltenham reverse, for which he was sent off the 7-2 favourite under Ruby Walsh, was his only defeat in four bumpers.
