Balko d’Ange made his hurdling breakthrough when justifying 13/8 favouritism in the listed QuinnBet Handicap Hurdle, the feature on the final day of Limerick’s Christmas festival.

Ridden for Philip Fenton by 7lb. claimer Niall Moore, the four-year-old handicap debutant saw off Bright Legend by a length and a half, much to the delight of the trainer.
