SHIRLEY Livingstone bred the Grade 1 Frank Ward Solicitors Arkle Novice Chase winner Some Plan, who finished alone to capture the more than €50,000 first prize at Leopardstown on Sunday. Racing for Roger Brookhouse and trained by the in-form Henry de Bromhead, the nine-year-old was gaining his first piece of blacktype.

Joe Magee bought the son of Winged Love as a foal at Tattersalls Ireland for just €1,300 and the gelding was withdrawn from the Goffs Land Rover Sale as a four-year-old. Having finished runner-up in a bumper at Down Royal on his debut from Brian Hamilton’s yard, he was despatched to the Brightwells Cheltenham Sale and sold to Brookhouse for £40,000.
