Rattledelatch continues to prosper from Indian summer Rattledelatch came out on top following an exciting finish to the Matchbook Betting Exchange Rated Novice Chase at Punchestown. The easy-to-back 100/30 shot, who opened his account over fences at Tramore last month, challenged in the straight under Ian Power and was one of three horses in the air together at the last. The John Queally-trained gelding drifted left when ridden on the run-in causing interference to Good Option, who was making no impression at the time, and had half a length to spare over Torpille Dagrostis at the line. Good Option, who spoiled his chance with a mistake at the penultimate fence, finished a further two lengths back in third. The placings were confirmed following a stewards' enquiry. Queally said, “He did that well and he battled. I thought after Tramore that was it for the year, he's a good ground horse. “The seasons have gone funny, and next thing we saw the weather, so we decided to roll the dice again. He's a five-year-old now and has two chases won, so it's great. “You saw him win in Tramore, where he came from, he's not slow. We were confident enough dropping back to two miles today. He'll be a nice horse next year back up to two-and-a-half, possibly three in time.” Quotes by John O'Riordan
