Limestone Lad disappointed in the Pierse Drinmore Novice Chase race at Fairyhouse this afternoon, failing to record his fifth victory in a row and eventually finishing fourth beaten by second favourite Sackville. Sackville may now target the Sun Alliance Chase at Cheltenham according to his jockey David Casey.
Earlier Youlneverwalkalone took the Ballymore Properties Hatton's Grace Hurdle in great style. Conor O'Dwyer timed his run to perfection to defeat a class field. Moscow Flyer, well backed at 6/4 lead most of the way but Youlneverwalkalone looked comfortable, staying in last until the home straight.
