Review fairyhouse 6th Apr
< Golden Silver made no impression in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham last time out but bounced back in tremendous style to take the Tattersalls Ireland Dan Moore Memorial Handicap Chase at Fairyhouse.
Paul Townend managed to avoid trouble when Mansony Mighty Massini and Sky's The Limit crashed out in a melee five out, and was poised to strike as Blueberry Boy took the home turn in front.
Golden Silver (9-2) moved up smoothly to overhaul the long-time leader at the final fence and the top-weight ran on well to score by three lengths.< Un Hinged has winning form on heavy ground and seemed to relish the conditions as he romped away with a big prize in the ladbrokes.com Handicap Hurdle.
Sent to the front by Alan Crowe, the 10-year-old had plenty of rivals poised to challenge on turning for home, led by C'Est Ca and Tarkari but there was still plenty in the tank.
John Coleman's charge quickened into the last and had no trouble holding favourite C'Est Ca by four and a half lengths, belying his 25-1 odds in the process.< Magnanimity stepped up to two and a half miles for the first time in the Bobbyjo Bar Festival Novice Hurdle and enjoyed the trip as he recorded a stylish victory under Davy Russell.
Dessie Hughes's charge (10-1) was always travelling sweetly and came to take it up at the last before pulling away from long-time leader Frascati Park to score by four and a half lengths.
Peter Casey's filly Fingal Rock (4-1) showed the benefit of her promising introductory second at Naas last month to take the Weatherbys Ireland GSB Hurdle.
Andrew McNamara sent her on approaching the final flight and she got the better of a set-to on the run-in with favourite Doctor Deejay who lost second to the rallying Big Game Hunter close home.
The gruelling conditions took their toll in the Irish Daily Mirror Novice Handicap Chase, only three finishing as Sang Bleu (9-1) led turning for home and stayed on well under Sean Flanagan to win by three and a half lengths for the Pauline Gavin team.
