Fullback makes smashing debut over fences

ERIC McNAMARA’S Faltering Fullback made a smashing debut over fences when taking the Kevin McManus Beginners Chase at Listowel yesterday.

Backed at 5-2 in the morning and from 9-4 to 13-8 on track, the six-year-old justified the confidence in style.

This was his first run since scoring over flights at Killarney in May, but McNamara had his charge in tip-top shape and ready to do himself justice.
