THERE has – rightly enough – been a lot of talk about Majborough this week after his impressive chase debut win at Fairyhouse, but he’s not the only high-class chase debutant to emerge from Closutton in recent days and I was delighted to see Lecky Watson make the perfect start to his own chasing career when finding too much for Supreme winner Slade Steel at Naas.

This is a horse I’ve been looking forward to seeing over a fence for some time, and while I normally keep my observations for British tracks, I have to make an exception for this gelding, who looks destined for better things.
