Ballyagran can gallop rivals into submission

BALLYAGRAN is fancied to gallop and jump a couple of useful rivals silly in the Kilbegnet EBF Novice Chase at Roscommon this afternoon.

The six-year-old proved hugely disappointing over flights as last season progressed, but made a solid start over fences at Listowel recently and can build on that now.

His technique was impressive for a first-timer and Ballyagran battled in fine style in the closing stages to resist Chicago Vic by half a length.
