Glengouly confirmed recent Gowran Park form with Sam’s Choice in the featured Connolly RED MILLS Irish EBF Auction Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown’s final National Hunt meeting until St Stephen’s Day, providing Willie Mullins with the highlight of a Monday four-timer.

Ridden by talented 5lb claimer Jack Foley, the six-year-old stayed on dourly to hold his rival by three-quarters of a length, with favourite Pinkerton held in third position.
