Gordon Elliott continued his fine early-season form when registering a treble in Fairyhouse on Tuesday, Gerri Colombe and Harmonya Maker scoring under Jack Kennedy, and Search For Glory taking the bumper for Harry Swan.

The Robcour-owned Gerri Colombe retained his untarnished record and justified 6-5 favouritism when making a successful start to his chasing career in the Irish National Hunt Steeplechase Committee Beginners Chase, beating the Mullins pair Bronn and Tenzing in workmanlike fashion.
