THE Charles Byrnes-trained Campbonnais, in the familiar colours of Michael O’Leary’s Gigginstown House Stud, relished the step-up to an extended three miles when landing the inaugural running of the Tote-sponsored Connacht National Handicap Chase at Roscommon yesterday.

OUT of action with a broken collar-bone since March 26, Paul Townend returned in style when registering a double on odds-on favourites Rattan and Killultagh Queen at Ballinrobe last night where trainer Willie Mullins went on to complete a treble with Bless N’ject in the bumper.
