Festival Novice Hurdle
The Fairyhouse Easter Festival Novice Hurdle is a Grade 2 National Hunt hurdle race in Ireland which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Fairyhouse over a distance of 2 miles and 4 furlongs (4,023 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in April. The race was originally run at the course's Easte Festival but in 2017 it was moved to a fixture in early April to avoid clashing with similar races at the Punchestown Festival.[1]
