Sweet-jumping Indevan delivers despite scare at third last

Willie Mullins’ Indevan easily reversed previous Kilbeggan form with Bally Longford in the Benchmark Hospitality Novice Chase at rain-swept Killarney last night.

The only moment of real worry for Indevan’s backers came when Paul Townend tried to poke up the inside of Bally Longford at the third last.

He soon found whatever gap existed initially closing rather quickly and the sweet-jumping Indevan could have gone through the wing of the fence.
