Easy for Archie in novice chase

The novice chase may have lost much of it's lustre with five non-runners but Archie Boy proved an impressive winner.

Paul Flynn 's charge was left in front four out when Tryptronic crashed out and Davy Russell had few worries aboard the 8/11f as he cruised to an effortless 19-length win over Janeylad

"He's going very well and we'll tip away with him. He seems to go right-handed well but there are very few races for him," said Flynn.

"He (the handicapper) wasn't very hard on him last time. The race cut up today but all he could do was win.

"The lads are mad to go to Galway but I don't think that would suit him and I'm looking more at Listowel and Killarney while there might also be something in England for him."
