Sunchart shines on very kind ground

A dual listed-winner on the flat and rated 106 in that discipline, Sunchart outclassed her nine rivals when landing the Wexford Racecourse Rated Hurdle in Wexford.
Trained for Pat Garvey by Andy Slattery and ridden by 7lb claimer Adam Ryan, the 7/4 favourite tracked the pace, quickened into the lead turning for home and, despite idling in front, beat eye-catcher Farfromnowhere and Black Heather with a bit to spare.
