THAT Total Recall was sent off a 2/1 shot for an extremely competitive 16-runner Munster National on Sunday was one thing. That he won in the manner of a 1/2 shot is another.

Trained by Sandra Hughes last season, there was nothing immediately eye-catching about the eight-year-old's debut season over fences. He raced six times, won once and on his two most recent starts - in two decent handicap chases - he had run respectably but was well held off a mark of 130.
