THERE was a major turn up in the Seamus Mulvaney Bookmaker Novice Hurdle where the hitherto unbeaten Malone Road lost out in a three-way finish that went to N’golo (100/30) who left an abject effort at Kilbeggan last month well behind.

Malone Road (2/5) was clumsy at a number of flights and his jumping cost him dearly at the last where he blundered and this handed the initiative to the Willie Mullins-trained winner who had made much of the running for Paul Townend.
