ITV Racing tips from Newsboy for Fairyhouse and Kempton cards

SEMPO is fancied to give this trainer Joseph O’Brien a first victory in the BoyleSports Irish Grand National (5.00) at Fairyhouse today.

The seven-year-old son of Oscar is untried at this afternoon’s three-mile, five furlong distance – but has given the impression when campaigned over shorter this season that a stamina test will see him in his best light.

Last time out, Sempo finished seven lengths second to Scarlet And Dove in the Grade 3 Flyingbolt Novice Chase over two miles at Navan.

My selection didn’t get going until the race was all over and, with the potential to go past his handicap mark of 139 on his fifth attempt over fences, Sempo can prove his staying power to land the €216,000 first prize.

Market leader Latest Exhibition commands plenty of respect with his Grade 1 form, while second favourite Agusta Gold will have a new jockey after Paul Townend's fall yesterday.

He was due to partner the Graded mares' chase winner until he hurt his foot and awaits a scan to assess the injury.

Agusta Gold's trainer Willie Mullins can collect first prize in the Devinish Fairyhouse Chase (4.20) with EASY GAME, one of three Grade 2 events on ITV4.

Back from a break, he has the class to overhaul hot favourite and Cheltenham Festival runner-up Fakir D'Oudairies.

THE BOSSES OSCAR took the same position in his race at that meeting and can go one better in the Underwriting Exchange Hurdle (3.50).
