The sky looks the limit for Vautour as last season’s top novice hurdler made an impressive debut over fences in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase at Navan yesterday.

Liz Doyle’s Kauto Grand Mogol, a half-brother to Kauto Star, certainly shapes as a horse for the future, on the basis of an impressive debut over jumps in the www.limerickraces.ie Maiden Hurdle at Limerick yesterday.

FRONT–RUNNING tactics paid off for Silent Native as he held off Golden Beacon in an exciting finish to the Powerstown Handicap Hurdle at Clonmel last evening.
