No Return again scores from the front

No Return made all to land a Curragh maiden in April and repeated the tactics to take the Fairynights @Fairyhouse Handicap in the hands of Jamie Powell.

The 100/30 chance was quickly away from an outside draw and having edged about three lengths clear over two furlong out, kept on well inside final furlong.

The Danny Murphy-trained gelding held on well to beat Misappropriation by a length and a quarter with 6/5 favourite Gazelle D’or half a length further back in third.

Murphy said, “There was no pace angle because Hugo’s Girl (non-runner, stiff) is normally in front, and we got a soft lead. He loves a rail beside him.

“Six is perfect for him and he’s a good little money spinner.”
