McNamara seen to good effect

John Thomas McNamara was seen to good effect when winning The George Fitzmaurice Hunters Chase aboard 6/4 favourite Greenfield Noel of Michael Winters.

McNamara soon led on the Germany gelding, clear from halfway, made a bad mistake 6 out and reduced advantage, strongly pressed entering straight, headed last but under a strong drive by McNamara the pair managed to get up close home and deny Kevin Power aboard Top Twig .

The winning trainer Michael Winters was absent as he is in Kinsale.
