Drumgill hits the mark for Ryan Drumgill landed a nice pot for John Ryan when claiming the Easyfix Equine Handicap Chase at Fairyhouse. The Elusive Pimpernel gelding had been placed on his two most recent outings and went to post an 11/1 shot in the two-mile-one contest. Michael Kenneally produced his mount to lead before the last and he kept on well in the closing stages to beat front-runner Touch Me Not by two-and-a-half lengths. “He’s a magical horse. Things just didn’t go his way in Punchestown (last time) and he was very unlucky he didn’t win the Mayo National,” said Ryan. “He got a fall in Galway and lost his way a little bit after it. “That’s seven races he’s won now, he’s a phenomenal horse. He’s a well-bred horse and a good strong horse. “The Dan Moore (January 10th) back here will probably be his next run. On soft ground he’s better over two miles.”
