Warcraft from the Michael Hourigan stable got back to his winning ways when winning the Ladbrokes.com Novice Chase in the hands of Adrian Heskin.

Heskin sent the Kayf Tara gelding to the front at the second last and kept on strongly to record a comfortable length and a quarter win over the Armaramak

Winning trainer Hourigan said afterwards: “Davy Russell rode him the last two times and he felt that he had a wind problem so we fitted a tongue tie today but having said that we don’t think he has a problem we have never heard him make a noise.”

“There might be something for him at Killarney and the two mile six chase at Galway is on the cards now.”
