The defection of Henry Higgins from the Anglo Printers Novice Hurdle saw the two mile one event at Bellewstown reduced to just a three runner field.

Odds on favourite Indian Icon (Dessie Hughes trains for Seamus Dunne) got the better of outsider The Visitor and front-running Cape Glory by two lengths and a length.

Winning rider Mark Enright stated: "It was a bit of a mickey mouse race with three runners.

"I was glad to see the Gigginstown horse (Cape Glory) go on. My horse picked up at the second last and winged it and I always knew there was only going to be one winner.

"A sprint up the straight was always going to suit me and his confidence is high. He was very good today.

"He wants good ground or nice ground with a bit of cut but not firm. That's beautiful ground out there." (MG & EM)
