SCARLET And Dove rounded off a successful festive period for Joseph O’Brien when taking the Grade 2 John & Chich Fowler Memorial EBF Mares Chase in fine style at Fairyhouse on New Year’s Day.

The Carriganog trainer has a streamlined National Hunt team compared to his powerful flat string but this was a fifth winner over a week which also included graded race success for both Home By The Lee and Comfort Zone as well as a valuable handicap win with San Salvador.
