Our Ben back on winning trail but unlikely to take up Lexus option

WILLIE MULLINS’ Our Ben got back on the winning trail when outstaying long-absent Afistfullofdollars in the Glen Chase at Thurles yesterday.

Afistfullofdollas was returning from a two year break, but was well supported in the market against the favourite.

Noel Meade’s charge ran a cracker, but began to tire early in the straight and front-running Our Ben, partnered by David Casey, was much the stronger between the final two fences.
