Four Irish meetings on a busy weekend and the feature of today’s action is the Grade 2 PWC Champion Chase at Gowran Park, in which Royal Rendezvous can lead home a Willie Mullins one-two by accounting for last year’s winner, Easy Game.

The two clashed in the Galway Plate and it was Royal Rendezvous who came out on top with a length to spare. On that occasion, he was in front rank early, led from a long way out, and found plenty to see off his stablemate. He was in receipt of 4lbs that day, is 1lb better off today, and can make all the running once more.
