McNamara and Flood continue good run Paddy Flood and Eric McNamara continued their good run when winning The Kevin McManus Beginners Chase with Dashing George owned by Bellflower Racing Limited. Flood settled his mount in behind the leaders and passed the long time leader Fools Rush 3 out and kept on well to win by an impressive 10 lengths holding off the 6/4 favourite Parsons Pistol of Noel Meades. McNamara said, "He jumps super and he did it well. Paddy gave him a super ride, he's better going left handed and he'll go for a winners of one next."
