Ah Ref Survives Enquiry
Ah Ref crossed the line one and a quarter lengths in front of Operation Houdini in the Noel Cummins Bookmaker Handicap Chase, but he had to survive a steward's enquiry before being confirmed the winner, much to the relief of his connections, Leonard Whitmore, Sean Flanagan and his owners, the Harbour Lights Syndicate. Sat 13th Sep
Niall felt he struggled in the ground. He doesn't want it that deep,. The Welsh National is still the plan but if it looked like coming up absolutely bottomless at Chepstow we might look at the Paddy Power at Leopardstown instead.

We will comeback here for the Troytown in a fortnights time. We decided to take advantage of his hurdle rating and thankfully everything worked out well.,
