Collon Allstar won a moderate and grief stricken division two of the Pride Of Tipperary Beginners Chase in emphatic style under Johnny Cullen who was deputising for the injured Andrew Thornton.

This 33/1 shot was without success 'between the flags' and pulled up on his only previous try on the racecourse proper in the big hunter chase at the Fairyhouse Festival.

Winning trainer, Pat Martin was an absentee but he does well with his small team of jumpers which include champion hunter chaser, Agus A Vic and multiple winner, Lucky At Last.
