Lido dispenses with rivals in style

Gigginstown Stud and Bryan Cooper completed a Grade One double when Valseur Lido emerged an emphatic winner of the Bar One Racing Drinmore Novice Chase at Fairyhouse yesterday.

Willie Mullins’ five-year-old dispensed with the opposition in tremendous style to give the handler a treble on what proved to be a mixed day for the champion trainer.

Real Steel, also representing Gigginstown, made the running despite losing ground by jumping out to the left on occasions and to his credit remained in contention.
