BARRY Connell and Michael O’Sullivan have enjoyed Grade 1 success this season with novice hurdlers Marine Nationale and Good Land and they teamed up for another significant victory as Espanito Bello landed the €100,000 Bar One Racing Leinster National Handicap Chase in impressive fashion.

The lightly-raced son of Turgeon is something of a course specialist and, having gained all three previous wins at this venue, was well-backed into 7/2 for this extended three-mile test.
