AND speaking of confounding the doubters, Easy Game won again last Sunday. He won the Grade 2 Navan Novice Hurdle, a race that has a star-studded roll of honour.
The Barastraight gelding is the horse on whom Ruby Walsh made a victorious return to action from his broken leg at the Galway Festival at the end of July. He was beaten on his next two runs after that and, when he beat Magnium and Choungaya in the Grade 3 Monksfield Novice Hurdle at Navan last month, the general feeling appeared to be that Willie Mullins had better novice hurdlers at home. Now that he has won again, stepping up in grade and producing another career-best, it may be time to take him seriously.
