Drop in trip no problem as Our Ben sluices home

OUR BEN, who once promised a lot more than he delivered, is now getting his act together and could hardly have been more impressive in the Grade 2 O’Connell Logistics Hilly Way Chase at Cork yesterday.

Successful over three miles at Thurles previously, Willie Mullins’ gelding showed his versatility here when returning to two miles without any bother at all.

He jumped brilliantly for David Casey and moved sweetly through the contest. Gemini Lucy and Andrew Leigh went their separate ways at the first and Central House was left in front.
