Money-spinner Sunchart obliges in Wexford Sunchart was thoroughly professional in justifying favouritism in the Wexford Racecourse Rated Hurdle. Andy Slattery's charge raced in close attendance to the leaders after three out and tanked into the lead before the next. He was full of running between the final two flights and put in a lovely jump over the last to seal the deal. The eight-year-old gelding went on by four and a-quarter lengths from Farfromnowhere (12/1). Black Heather (7/1) was another half a length away in third. Just two runs back, Sunchart was successful in Listed company on the Flat in Naas, so he is proving to be a money-spinner under both codes. . Stable representative Willie Slattery said: "He seems to be improving over hurdles. The handicapper was probably kind to us, I don't know if he'll be kind to us after that. He must have been around 125 as it was a rated race and he was around 5lb off the top. The Willie Mullins horse (Gaucher) who beat him in Tipperary is rated in the high 140s and there was only half-a-length between them. "He is probably not as good over hurdles, but he won't run over them much. The problem is that he can't go on firm ground, as you saw the last day. I'd say Pat (Garvey, owner) would prefer if he never ran over hurdles. "He is after winning the Devoy Stakes (In Naas) the last two years and he's a very good horse around Naas. "I'd say that was a nice race today and I know where I'd love to go with him now, but Pat mightn't let me. He probably wouldn't get into the Galway Hurdle, but I'd love to go there. He won't be running much over hurdles though. "He'll be going back to Naas or Leopardstown towards the end of the year and we'll be hoping for soft ground. He's just been a good horse for us and the first day he ever ran he was beaten into second by Santiago. From day one he has just been a good horse and we could do with another few like him."
