In the absence of Farouk D’alene, the Emmet Mullins-trained Sneaky Getaway had just three rivals in the INH Stallion Owners EBF Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse today, but he produced a classy performance in the hands of Brian Hayes.

In front from the outset, he jumped well and never had to do too much to fend off his rivals, the best of which was Farceur Du Large, who is crying out for a stiffer test.
