AROUND half an hour after the Willie Mullins-trained Morning Run raced to Grade 3 success at Fairyhouse, the stable’s Gitane Du Berlais took the Grade 1 Betfred TV Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase over two miles, four and a half furlongs at Sandown, scoring by eight lengths.

Last year she won the Grade 3 Solerina Mares’ Novice Hurdle, the race that Morning Run took last Saturday, and her chasing debut was an 18-length score at Limerick in late December.
