Drunken out to restore some order

Charlie Swan’s Drunken Disorderly will be hoping for better luck as he faces 11 rivals in the Knight Frank Ganly Walters Novice Chase at Leopardstown on Friday.

The seven-year-old still held every chance in the Drinmore Novice Chase won by Sky’s The Limit when he tipped up two fences from home and will now bid for some Grade One compensation.

Santa’s Son would be an appropriate winner at this time of year and has won his last two starts over fences in the manner of an improving horse.

Dessie Hughes’ Oulart, a Cheltenham Festival winner in his youth, is still a novice over fences despite finishing second in the Irish Grand National in 2006.

Noel Meade is represented by Charlie Yardbird and Mr Robert, while Robert Tyner’s Callherwhatulike, who bolted up by 20 lengths last time out, steps up in class.

Abbeybraney, Luxi River, Notre Pere, Secretofshambhala, Dreux and Sizing Australia complete the line-up.
