Facile Vega made a winning start to his chasing career in a strong renewal of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase. Willie Mullins' charge took time to warm to his task in terms of his fencing as Saint Felicien (9/1) led them a merry dance at the head of affairs.

Naas Sunday review: Telmesomethinggirl wins mares beginners chase

The Henry De Bromhead-trained daughter of Stowaway, winner of the mares' novices' hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in 2021, hadn't tasted success in any race since that high-profile Grade Two score but had made an encouraging enough start over fences at Thurles last month. She was 5/4 to go one better and ultimately proved six lengths too good for…

Leopardstown: Home By The Lee bags Christmas Hurdle

Home By The Lee proved his surprise victory at Navan last month was no fluke with a battling success in the Jack de Bromhead Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown. Joseph O'Brien's charge was a widely unconsidered 28-1 shot for the Grade Two Lismullen Hurdle in mid-November, but knuckled down to see off the strong-travelling Bob Olinger, with Ashdale…

Arkle contender? Appreciate It strikes on chasing debut

Appreciate It made a winning debut over fences for Willie Mullins and Paul Townend at Punchestown. As he often does, Townend kept things simple by bouncing into an early lead on the 2021 Supreme Novices' Hurdle winner.
