THE tally of National Hunt blacktype wins for representatives of the Sadler’s Wells (by Northern Dancer) male line increased by two at Naas on Sunday when Sutton Place (by Mahler) won the Listed Irish Racing Writers Kingsfurze Novice Hurdle over two miles about half an hour before Sub Lieutenant took the Grade 3 Naas Directors Plate Novice Chase over a half-mile further.

I reviewed the pedigree of the former here recently when that of his dam’s Grade 2-winning half-brother Measureofmydreams (by Shantou) was examined.
