Long odds-on Apt Approach forced to dig deep

LONG odds-on Apt Approach had to dig deep to beat Taradoun in the Lisronagh Beginners Chase at Clonmel yesterday.

Apt Approach, despite some indifferent technique, made all the running with Taradoun tracking him throughout.

Taradoun was close enough, if good enough, over the final two fences but Apt Approach found enough on the flat to go three lengths clear.
