Trafford remains unbeaten after Drinmore Trafford Lad galloped his rivals into the ground to win the Grade 1 Drinmore Novice Chase at Fariyhouse by 5 1/2 lengths. Winning trainer Dusty Sheehy said afterwards: 'he is everything we always thought he was - a real machine. The better the pace the better he is.' Cheltenham is the long-term aim for Trafford lad, but he will next step up to three miles at Leopardstown over Christmas. Sheehy also thinks that better ground will not be a problem for the 6-y-o.
