Ballyoisin makes amends for recent fall

Ballyoisin (evens favourite) made up for a fall on his chasing debut when easily accounting for Townshend in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Beginners Chase at Fairyhouse. Always highly regarded by trainer Enda Bolger, the JP McManus-owned six-year-old tipped up at this track on New Year's Day.He was sure-footed on this occasion, with Barry Geraghty always seemingly confident he had Ruby Walsh covered on Townshend and he ran out a six-length winner."He jumped well and I'd say he learned from the last day," said Geraghty."He's very little experience but he picked up well from the second-last and could do no more than he did."
