Buckley bags some compensation on Addragoole Kieren Buckley gained some compensation for his narrow defeat in the feature event when scoring on Addragoole in the Racing Post Handicap Chase. The Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding went to post an 11/1 shot and travelled sweetly to lead going to the final fence. The six-year-old stuck on well in the closing stages to post a two-and-a-quarter length win over Release The Beast. “He loved that ground, the better ground on the chase track,” said Cromwell. “He’s a horse that had been running over the summer, around the likes of Bellewstown, and the better ground obviously suited him well. “It’s nice to get a result and it’s nice for Kieren after just getting touched off in the Grade 1, it’s a little bit of compensation for him.” Buckley had been collared late on in the preceding Racing Post Novice Chase on board Irish Panther.
