AFTER a season in the wilderness the 2018 Triumph Hurdle hero Farclas has started the new campaign with renewed vigour and he made it two wins from as many starts over the larger obstacles in the two-mile novice chase.

A first winner for Gigginstown House Stud since the announcement concerning the winding down of the operation, the grey was the 8/11 favourite and he recorded a convincing five and a half lengths triumph which provided Davy Russell with his second winner of the evening.
