Narciso Has took the next step in his promising early career with victory in the Gannon’s City Recovery & Recycling Services
Juvenile Hurdle at
Leopardstown.
The Willie Mullins-trained four-year-old was ridden by Mark Walsh for owner JP McManus as the even-money favourite and was always positioned to the fore in the two-mile Grade One.
As the field neared the closing stages he pulled into a considerable lead and was in no danger of being caught, securing a four-and-a-half-length win from stablemate Selma De Vary.
