Eddie Lynam had a one two in the 6.40 and Willie Mullins repeated the feat half-an-hour later in the featured Gleneagle Summer Cabaret Chase but again the order was not as many punters expected with 10/1 shot Davenport Democrat easily defeating 2/1 favourite, Irish Invader. Mon 14th Jul

After race at Thurles Thu, 26th Feb, 2009 (1st)

Paul (Townend) gave Irish Invader a super ride, took the initiative from the start and jumped from fence to fence.

After race at Thurles Tue, 13th Jan, 2009 (1st)

I told Ruby to make plenty of use of Irish Invader because he doesn't have that many gears. He needs to race up with the pace because he jumps so well. We'll go for a conditions race, around two miles, again next.
