b g Snurge (IRE) - Fairygreen (IRE) (Toulon)
Chased leaders, not fluent 5 out, good progress to track leaders after 3 out, pressed leader in 2nd approaching 2 out, no impression last, kept on same pace run-in (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement of form, that there were a number of contributing factors to today's improved performance. He stated that his charge had fallen in his first three chases and at Navan had missed fences early on but gained in confidence as he progressed before staying on well. He further added that at Fairyhouse the horse disappointed having jumped off in contention but missed the first two fences. He felt that a combination of today's heavy ground, the application of a visor and a longer trip, had in his opinion brought about any apparent improvement in form) (op 11/1)
