BALL D’Arc added his name to the long list of National Hunt graded winners carrying the FR suffix when beating Moon Over Germany by two lengths in the Grade 2 Paddy Power Shops Better Value Novice Hurdle over two miles at Naas on Sunday.

It is a second blacktype victory for the five-year-old, following his listed success at Punchestown last month, and he was Grade 2-placed behind Min at that venue three weeks earlier.
