Disko comes of age with a fine front-running performance to land the Grade 1 Flogas Novice Chasde at Leopardstown under Sean Flanagan for trainer Noel Meade. The Cheltenham Festival is up next for the grey, and an assignment in either the RSA Chase or the JLT Novices' Chase awaits in March...

Ruby Walsh falling at the last fence is becoming a habit, how is it Paul Townend can WIN on Bellshill and Ruby cannot finish the course, hasn't Mr Mullins cottoned on to this, the rest of the racing public has.
