Lecky Watson was something of an unexpected Willie Mullins-trained winner of the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase at Cheltenham, as his better-fancied stablemates faltered.
The chestnut was a 20-1 shot under Sean O'Keeffe, with Mullins also responsible for Ballyburn, Quai De Bourbon and Dancing City in an all-Irish-trained field of seven.
