Milan Forth (3/1) registered wins in consecutive hunter chases at Down Royal today, landing the Bluegrass Mare Prepare Hunters Chase for owner Patrick Whyte, jockey Kevin Healy and trainer Adrian Murray.

The six-year-old had previously scored at Clonmel in mid-January before finishing third in a subsequent point-to-point later that month and today raced prominently and defeated Bold Fury by two lengths.

Jockey Healy reported "Adrian (Murray) has been good to me and put me up on him and he was filling me with confidence about him, to be fair. He tries his best every day, he comes out and is a very talented horse.

"His jumping is very good and he travelled very well, nearly too well into it."
