The money was down on Fearachain in the bumper at Listowel and the money was picked up with healthy interest as he scored at 5/2.

The six-year-old gelding was coming off a break of 176 days, but wasn't lacking any fitness as he was ridden into the lead over a furlong out and wasn’t stopping as the post loomed.

His SP was 5/2 having been 4/1 on early trading this morning. He put two and a quarter lengths on Kalanisi King (5/1) who was a neck in front of 6/1 shot Bay Of Freedom on debut.

Handler Tom Mullins said: “He deserved that. I can’t see him going for a winners’ bumper. I imagine he’ll go hurdling, he’s the age to go jumping now.

“He’ll run in a maiden hurdle when there’s a cut in the ground.”
