DAVENPORT DEMOCRAT gave Ruby Walsh an armchair ride on his way to success in the Dawn Pure Orange Juice Beginners Chase at the first stage of the Listowel Festival yesterday.

BETSEN, called after the brilliant French rugby wing-forward, lived up to his name when making an impressive debut in the Mallow Maiden at Cork on Saturday.

LOOK BETWEEN US, trained locally at Banteer by Louis Archdeacon, streaked away with the Carbon Group Handicap Chase at Cork last night.

THE brilliant Ruby Walsh is very much the rider to have on your side at Punchestown this evening.
