LAST season’s Irish National hero Burrows Saint signalled that he will be of considerable interest over the coming months as he came out on top in the Bet With Tote at Punchestown Hurdle.

An intriguing edition of this two-and-a-half-mile contest saw the former Gold Cup winner Sizing John return from two years off. The 10-year-old’s comeback looked to be going very nicely as he moved into second coming to the third last only to come down a stride after that obstacle.
