Sizing Coal completed a treble of wins at Fairyhouse today, landing the Meath GAA Joseph R.O'Reilly Hunters Chase for trainer Jim Dreaper and jockey Jamie Codd.

The ten year old gelding today followed up his February course win and an earlier point to point success at Oldtown with another success today, when edging a head win over Fenno's Storm

Afterwards Tom Dreaper, representing his father, later said “the plan was to sweeten him up a little bit this year in this game because he was maybe finding the handicap game a little tough.

“He was badly handicapped and his Irish National run probably did him no favours the following season and rather than taking on those 30 runner fields, this seems to have sweetened him up a bit.

“He probably go to Punchestown now and he'll appreciate better ground."
