West Away continues O’Brien’s good form The Pat Collins-trained West Away (10/1) was the winner of the Wexford Racecourse Park Run Beginners Chase for jockey Patrick O’Brien, who has enjoyed a good recent few days in the saddle. The Willie Mullins-trained Nadias Boy (4/11) was sent off at short odds but bombed out in a contest that changed complexion plenty of time. It looked to be between Scalpnagoon and Jackson Lamb before West Away, but a mistake from the Elliott-trained Scalpnagoon ended his chances and it was left open for West Away, who went on to win by four and a half lengths. Speaking after the race, trainer Pat Collins said: "That was his second run for us. He was off the track there for a long time. He got a run back, he just blew up the last day. Hopefully he'll improve again another bit. He's coming back from a long lay-off. It was a nice run. It took him a while to warm up into that race but he was strong at the finish. Maybe he will step up in trip the next time." (Quotes from John O'Riordan)
