The opening race this afternoon at Gowran Park, The Red Mills Chase was won by the Tom Taaffe trained Glenfinn Captain under Mark Walsh.

Taaffe said afterwards, "He is a Grade Two horse what you see is what you get. He will have a little break now and come back for Fairyhouse and Punchestown. I think he will get 3 miles on better ground Mark [Walsh] said the ground is very bad out there."
