Sheehy trip is Justified

EAMONN SHEEHY’S first visit to Newbury yesterday ended in success as Arkle Chase contender Justified ran out a comfortable winner under Tony McCoy.

The seven-year-old survived a nightmare 16-hour trip to the track on Tuesday as he beat a couple of fair performers to make all in the Pheasant Inn Novices’ Chase at odds of 8-13.

The gelding travelled well throughout and held the persistent challenge of Cornish Sett - who made a mistake at the final fence - on the run-in to score by two and a half lengths.
