In depth
Verdict
Siberian Prince was always travelling well in an eventful beginners' chase over the track and trip and his jumping should put him into contention here. Tullybeg comfortably held off Authorized Art, who runs earlier, at Kilbeggan while Chinx Of Light completed a double over timber before a narrow defeat on his chasing debut at Kilbeggan where a mistake at the second last probably cost him the race. MI LIGHTHOUSE looked a much-improved chaser when demolishing her field at Tramore and can take this before going on to better things.
