Adamantly Chosen lands Buck House The 5/6 favourite Adamantly Chosen made it two from two over fences in the Buck House Novice Chase. The Well Chosen gelding, who won the Goffs Land Rover bumper at this course last year and is still only a five-year-old, recovered from a blunder at the first and was in front at halfway. He stayed on well from the second-last, where Call Me Lyreen lost all chance with a bad mistake, to come home three and three quarter lengths ahead of Visionarian. Paddy Power left him at 20/1 for the Arkle and made him a 20s chance, from 25/1, for the Turners Novice Chase. Winning trainer Willie Mullins said: “I was very impressed with his jumping albeit that he made that bad mistake early on. He jumped from fence to fence, likes that ground and going right-handed seems to suit him. “Danny thought he wouldn’t have any problem going out in trip either. We’ll have to take a look at the Drinmore and I don’t think he’d want a run in between. “The Watch This Space Syndicate is headed up by Martin Lydon who has been involved in a number of syndicates with good horses over the years like Quel Esprit. It’s the first day that I’ve seen Martin racing in a while and he picked a good day to come.” Quotes from Alan Magee
