Allegorie De Vassy made all for a facile success in the Yellowford & Drumlin John & Chich Fowler Memorial Mares Chase at Fairyhouse this afternoon.

Paul Townend bounced out in front on the well-supported 5/4 favourite and she was left clear when nearest pursuer Riviere D’etel crashed out four from home.

The No Risk At All mare popped over the last two to record an easy 25-length success over Limerick Lace

Allegorie De Vassy was adding the Grade 3 prize to two previous Grade 2 victories over fences.

“It was nice performance from her. She enjoyed being in front today and Paul said she just enjoyed her jumping and galloping,” said Mullins.

“Even with the 24mm of rain they had here the ground needed it all. It’s still not real winter heavy or anything like that and she enjoyed that nice bit of ground.

“She put in some super jumps and I’m very happy with her.

“We’ll possibly look at the Opera Hat next at Naas, it’s down in trip which wouldn’t be ideal but it’s a mares race.”
