Quad takes Gowran gold

Former smart bumper horse and decent novice hurdler Quadrillon got off the mark over fences at the second attempt with a hard-fought success at Gowran Park.

The Willie Mullins-trained six-year-old had fallen on his debut over the larger obstacles, but put that right as he made all to grind out a two-and-a-half-length call over the more experienced Pay The Bounty in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Novice Chase.
