Nearly Nama’d a muddy marvel at Fairyhouse

Nearly Nama’d relished the heavy ground to land his second decent pot of the season at Fairyhouse in the Underwriting Exchange Dan Moore Memorial Handicap Chase yesterday.

Not seen since his course and distance victory six weeks ago, the Sandra Hughes-trained eight-year-old took command at the final fence in the hands of Barry Geraghty to land the €60,000 first prize for owner JP McManus, who ended the day with a treble.

Baily Green made the running with Draycott Place close up until the third-last, where the winner’s stablemate Guitar Pete made his bid for glory.
