As one would expect of any National Hunt meeting in Punchestown, there was real class on show and Colreevy provided the lion’s share of that quality when making a winning debut over fences in the Ballymore Group Rated Novice Chase.
The Willie Mullins-trained mare spent two seasons in bumpers, winning three times, including one at Grade One level. She spent last term over hurdles, winning just once, but on today’s evidence she could really blossom in her new discipline.
