Flat Out all the way Flat Out ran out an impressive winner on his debut over fences in the 59 Euro Punchestown Hospitality Beginners Chase. Emmet Mullins' mount made all, he jumped well and despite hitting the last and pitching he still recorded a thirteen length success over Ad Idem. Winning trainer Willie Mullins has Arbor Supreme in action in the Welsh National at Chepstow today and Harold Kirk represented him here. He said: "He'll come back in trip now for the Arkle at Leopardstown (the Frank Ward Solicitors-sponsored event is on January 23rd). This horse could go over any trip and we think a fair bit of him. "Emmet said he was very happy with his jumping and that he just got in a bit close at the last. He also said that the ground is heavy out there." Stan James go 20/1 from 25/1 about Flat Out for the Arkle Chase at Cheltenham whilst the same firm make him a 12/1 shot for the Jewson Novices' Chase. Gran Torino (6s into 5s) made a bad mistake early, he lost his action and was pulled up before the third fence by Paul Carberry.
