Sparking a Sunday double for his trainer Noel Meade, Sixshooter impressed on his fencing debut in the competitive BetVictor Proud Top Sponsor Irish Racing Beginners Chase in Galway.

Positively-ridden by Sean Flanagan, the Gigginstown-owned six-year-old produced a solid round of jumping and, on the final climb, proved too strong for Bay Ambition and favourite The Bosses Oscar.
