Twinlight returns to form at Fairyhouse

Twinlight got his season back on track with a fine front-running display in the Normans Grove Chase at Fairyhouse.

After running out a surprise winner of the Paddy Power Dial-A-Bet Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas, the Willie Mullins-trained eight-year-old failed to get seriously competitive in the Clarence House Chase at Ascot or the Tied Cottage at Punchestown and was particularly disappointing on his latest appearance at Naas.

With impressive Naas winner Mallowney the 1-2 favourite to confirm his superiority, Twinlight was a 3-1 shot, but he emphatically turned the tables under Ruby Walsh.

The Mullins runner was sent straight to the lead in the Grade Two contest and his jumping was largely assured.

Mallowney tracked him into the straight, but Twinlight began to assert between the final two fences and was well on top at the finish.

The only other runner, Savello, finished a distant third.

Mullins said: "We ran him in a snaffle with no noseband which may have made a difference, but in fairness he jumped great and the other two didn't jump as well.

"Ruby said he was really enjoying himself and was a different horse than the last day.

"He hasn't missed a beat all season and, as long as the ground is soft, he'll go to Punchestown."
