BILLAWAY’s battling neck success over Winged Leader in the St James’s Place Hunters’ Chase at Cheltenham Festival was well covered in last week’s issue with mention being made of another Irish-trained runner, Mighty Stowaway, finishing 12 lengths back in third.

Best of the British, in fourth and a further 13 lengths back, was the Irish-bred Dubai Quest who had won two of his three previous racecourse starts. The nine-year-old Dubai Destination gelding, who has also won six of his 10 outings between the flags, was ridden by Gina Andrews for her trainer husband, Tom Ellis.
