All You Need and more from Connell's mare

All You Need returned to the scene of her easy handicap hurdle win at the start of November to get off the mark at the first time of asking over fences in the Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Mares Beginners Chase at Naas.

Odds-on market-leader Uranna (fourth in the end) couldn't raise her effort in the straight and the Adrian Heskin-ridden All You Need (2/1 second favourite) got the better of Melbourne Lady from before the last for a two and a half length win.

Alan Fleming trains the successful French-bred for Barry Connell and the Curragh-based handler said: "She jumped well for her first time. She travelled very well, and should have no bother winning a few more chases.

"I've no real plan at the moment but in that ground I'd say we'll keep her to two miles. She'd have no problem going up another half-mile on better ground."

B.M. Cash, rider of Worthcominghomefor trained by William P Murphy, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount had a wind operation in the past and was rode in a holding manner, in order to get home on the testing ground.

The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Worthcominghomefor, trained by William P Murphy, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to have unilateral nasal discharge and to be blowing hard post race .
