THERE was no luck for the Irish runners in Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase at Cheltenham yesterday as the French-trained favourite Easysland (5/2) and rider Jonathan Plouganou made the best of their way home from the second last and despite a few scares over the last and on the run-in, he ran out an eight-length winner from Amazing Comedy and Out Sam.

Enda Bolger’s trio failed to finish as the well supported Yanworth and Mark Walsh fell and Josies Orders and Blue Templar were pulled up.
