FLORRIE’S BOY, trained by Eamonn ‘Dusty’ Sheehy for the Butler Family Syndicate, proved a fortunate winner of the Gain Horsefeeds Novice Chase at Clonmel last night.

SPES ULTIMA, who will be partnered for the first time by Ruby Walsh, can take the opening Irish Stallion Farms' EBF Maiden Hurdle at Down Royal this afternoon.

ON a card which has little to recommend it, Spes Ultima gets the nap to land the Tote Ireland Maiden Hurdle at Roscommon this evening.
