Ruby Walsh recorded his second treble in two days when winning The Avon Ri ? Stanley Macadam Company Novice Handicap Chase aboard the Tony Martin trained Lochan Locha for local owner Michael Bailey.

Winning trainer Martin said afterwards, "He's a proper old fashioned chaser. That was a great pick me up after losing Drumconvis earlier in the afternoon. It's been terrible to lose such two good horses in such a short space of time Drumconvis and Clarified. I'm delighted that Lochan Lacha won for Michael Bailey at his local track as he has been a very good supporter of mine since I started training."

Walsh's earlier winners came aboard Serpentaria winning The Keelings Irish Strawberry Hurdle and Taipan's Way winning The William Fry Novice Chase.
