Walsh thrilled with Sceaux spin

Ruby Walsh was delighted that Un De Sceaux put a fall on his chasing debut firmly behind him with an impressive victory at Fairyhouse on Saturday.

He was thrilled that the Willie Mullins-trained six-year-old put in an excellent round of jumping when making all the running in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase.

In doing so, Un De Sceaux boosted his prospects for the Racing Post Arkle Challenge Trophy at Cheltenham in March for which he is one of the ante-post favourites along with stablemate Vautour.
