THE Sam Curling-trained Wonderwall (4/7 - 4/6 favourite) provided further credence to the accepted maxim ‘once a good horse, always a good horse’ by destroying the opposition to oblige in the open at Sunday’s Duhallow Foxhounds fixture in Dromahane.

Wonderwall won a thrilling renewal of last year’s Cheltenham Foxhunters’ and, having made a victorious return to action here at Dromahane in November, he more than acquitted himself by finishing seventh to Barton Snow when attempting to defend his Cheltenham crown last month.
