LALOR was a heartening and hugely promising winner on his debut over fences in the Grade 2 Racing Post Arkle Trophy Trial Novices’ Chase at Cheltenham.
Kayley Woollacott’s six-year-old stable star transferred all his ability from hurdles to fences as he jumped with great accuracy to run out a seven-length winner from Dynamite Dollars.
Emotions running high at @CheltenhamRaces as Lalor, trained by Kayley Woollacott , takes the Racing Post Arkle Trophy Trial. Woollacott took over the training licence after the tragic death of her husband Richard in January. #TheNovemberMeeting @k_woollacott pic.twitter.com/fEY8ZDDOTt

Champion jockey Richard Johnson allowed Lalor to bide his time in a select field of five as favourite Claimantakinforgan and then Pingshou made much of the early running in the two-mile contest.
But Lalor took over three out and then stayed on emphatically to win with ease at 11/2.
