ON a card sponsored in full by Bar 1 Betting, the featured Leinster National Handicap Chase at Naas was a thriller, which saw Gavin Cromwell enjoy a pre-Cheltenham boost and had a late sting in the tail for his fellow trainer, Colm Murphy.

Coming to the final fence in the €100,000 contest over just short of three miles, one furlong, Built By Ballymore led narrowly from Murphy’s strong-travelling favourite Goraibhmaithagat, with The Lovely Man sticking to his task back in third.
