The Willie Mullins trained Bellshill maintained his two race unbeaten record over fences at at Limerick today, winning the featured Grade 2 Shannon Airport Novice Chase under jockey Paul Townend.
The son of King’s Theatre was a Grade 1 winning novice hurdler last season and today made the step from his winning chase debut at Gowran, when today readily beating four rivals.
Afterwards Townend stated “it was a good performance - we didn’t fly and picked up well off the bend. We winged the second last and put it to bed from there. He missed one up the back but is a novice and on the whole it was a decent performance. It (the ground) is hard work but the chase course didn’t ride as soft as the hurdle course.”
