County Limerick trainer Michael Hourigan left his local track with the feature race of the day after Dancing Tornado won the Guinness Greenmount Park Novice Chase.

A useful hurdler, he looks like being even better over fences as the only horse to beat him to date is Edward O'Grady's Osana second in the Grade One at Leopardstown later in the afternoon.

Unfortunately the race was decimated by non-runners due to travel problems, with only seven went to post instead of 11, yet there were still five in line at the second-last.

David Casey always looked confident on Dancing Tornado though and despite River Liane hitting the front before the last, Casey asked his mount to quicken and he did so impressively for a four length win.< Coolcashin was sent off the 9-4 favourite in the absence of Willie Mullins' Sports Line but was pulled up.
