It Came To Pass and Billaway, who finished first and second in last season’s St James’s Place Foxhunter Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, take each other on at Fairyhouse in Ireland tomorrow.
They are two of ten runners in a fascinating hunters’ chase (1.30) which sees exciting young horses taking on proven older horses. Ten-year-old It Came To Pass, who is trained in County Cork by Eugene O’Sullivan (pictured above) and ridden by his daughter Maxine, has not run since his Cheltenham triumph, which came 29 years after the O’Sullivan family’s first Foxhunter Chase victory with Lovely Citizen.
In March It Came To Pass beat Billaway by ten lengths, with the Rose Loxton-trained Shantou Flyer another five lengths back in third and proving best of the British.
In theory Billaway is up against it, because while his rider, Patrick Mullins, no longer has a claim, Maxine has a 5lb riders’ allowance which she could not use at the Festival.
Other runners to note include 11-year-old Lite Duties, who won three races between January and the March shutdown of racing, and the youthful pair Aloneamongmillions and Winged Leader. Seven-year-old Aloneamongmillions, who is trained like Lite Duties by Sam Curling, fell at Buckfastleigh in Devon on his first start when trained by Katherine Hawke, but then moved to Ireland and has been unbeatable in five races, including a Gowran Park hunters’ chase in March. Rob James rides him, while Barry O’Neill, Ireland’s champion point-to-point rider, takes the mount on six-year-old Winged Leader.
Trained in Northern Ireland by David Christie, Winged Leader was second to Law Of Gold in Stratford’s pointtopoint.co.uk Champion Novices’ Hunters’ Chase (John Corbet Cup) last year and has won his five latest starts.
