Making his hurdling debut, the Willie Mullins-trained French import Zarak The Brave proved the star of Tuesday’s action in Fairyhouse, running out an impressive winner of the Starting Point 3-Y-0 Maiden Hurdle.
Successful once from five starts on the Flat in France and now carrying the colours of Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, the Zarak gelding was sent off a strong 4-6 favourite and came from well off the pace to jump into the lead at the second last before scooting clear readily to slam Rightsotom by 10 lengths.
