Anotherway bags feature for Slevin and Gibney

The Karl Thornton-trained Shanroe Act, raised 17lb for a wide-margin hurdle win at Fairyhouse last Thursday, took advantage of a lowly chase mark when making a successful debut over fences in the Aspall Handicap Chase.

The Tom Gibney-trained Anotherway bagged the featured Irish Stallion Farms EBF Rated Novice Chase in Down Royal, second leg of a double for jockey J J Slevin and owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede.

Always close to the pace, he mastered favourite Sky Lord, who made a mistake at the last, on the run-in before beating a rallying He’s Gorgeous by five lengths.
