The second Grade Three of the afternoon was the ITBA Fillies Scheme EBF Dawn Run Mares Novice Chase, which went to the Noel Kelly-trained Charlie's Vic. Avondhu Lady led from the home turn, but Charlie's Vic (5/1) reeled her in on the run-in and got up by a neck under a fine ride from Derek Fox. County Derry-based Kelly said: "The plan was to run in this race after she won her beginners chase. "She jumped well and she probably needs three miles, even though she is only a six-year-old. Fairyhouse is only two weeks away and that might be a bit sharp for her."
