Lynch wins aboard Tasman The Weatherbys Ireland GSB Handicap Chase caused somewhat of a surprise after 12/1 shot Tasman came in front under Andrew Lynch. Winning trainer Liam McAteer said afterwards: “He ran a binder in the Troytown, he was badly hampered by the winner four from home.” “I couldn’t believe he was such a big price here today. We’re after dropping him back in trip a bit now.” “We’re in no hurry with him, Andrew is mad to go for the Topham Chase at Aintree. We’ll try and find something for him over the Christmas.” “He’s a horse that doesn’t take a lot of work, he’s a joy to train and he’s well minded at home.” “Hopefully the handicapper won’t be too hard on us after that. He’s a fabulous jumper.”
