Review gowran park 20th Nov
< Quadrillon made light work of the opposition to secure his first victory over fences in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Novice Chase at Gowran Park.
Willie Mullins' charge fell at the first on his chasing debut at Fairyhouse, but had no such problems here, jumping soundly in front for Paul Townend.
The 7-4 favourite poured it on after the fourth last and though Pay The Bounty stayed on his heels, there was two and a half lengths between them at the line.< Tornedo Shay put in an accomplished round of hurdling to open his account over timber at the first time of asking in the Bennettsbridge Maiden Hurdle.
Thomond O'Mara's 9-4 favourite was a classy operator in bumpers last term, and travelled sweetly for Davy Russell, before looking a little squeezed for room after the second last.
Russell pushed him into a gap on the rail and he shot clear before coming home three and a half lengths to the good over Johnny McGeeney < Ainm Spartacus showed plenty of determination to make every yard of the running in the Gowran Park Gift Vouchers 3-Y-O Maiden Hurdle.
There appeared to be plenty of challengers on the turn for home, but Kieran Purcell's 33-1 chance kept finding plenty for Tom Doyle, and he stayed on well after the last to beat Luddenmore by three lengths.
Tommy Carberry's Peak Raider (5-1) ran out a very easy winner of the Irish Racing Yearbook Handicap.
Taking up the running at the second last, Davy Condon barely moved a muscle as he sauntered clear to score by five lengths from Indian Buck
Condon had to work harder to complete his double as the Noel Meade-trained Killeenmore (5-1) landed the Gowran Park Racing Club 2011 Handicap Hurdle, while Meade completed his double in the Golf Membership At Gowran Park INH Flat Race when Nina Carberry drove Sword Of Destiny (7-2) to victory.
