< Un De Sceaux s fencing debut didn't go to plan as he fell at the third-last when seemingly on his way to comfortable success in the Killinan Beginners Chase at Thurles.

The previously unbeaten Willie Mullins-trained six-year-old was well clear of his nearest rival and going great guns when parting company with Ruby Walsh as he stumble on landing.

The exit of the 1-8 favourite left Mr Fiftyone (8-1) out in front and Jessica Harrington's charge went on to score by five and half lengths from Smokey Joe Joe

There was more joy for favourite-backers as Leave At Dawn (11-10fav) pulled nine and a half lengths clear of Skehana Bridge when scoring in the Horse & Jockey Handicap Hurdle, while Top Man Marty (20-1) to
