Trainer Noel Meade completed a double at Fairyhouse today, landing the concluding Help Fairyhouse Reach 10,000 Followers On Twitter with the Nina Carberry partnered 8/13 favourite Snow Falcon

The winner needs to battle in the closing stages but eventually held off the challenge of Marys Choice by three parts of a length.

Afterwards Meade, earlier successful with The Herds Garden stated “that went according to plan. He was second on his first run and it's very hard to get a horse from the sales ring to that race but the Land Rover usually turns out a good race.

“He stays well and Nina said he's maybe a bit ground dependent, in that he wants goodish ground and wouldn't want it heavy. He's small enough but is very well bred. We could look at the winners bumper at Down Royal for him.”
