Well-backed Rockonliam makes winning chase debut Available at 2/1 in the morning for the Support The Irish Injured Jockeys Fund Beginners Chase at Wexford, Rockonliam was steadily backed ahead of racing and duly justified 1/1 favouritism under Darragh O'Keeffe. The dual hurdles winner is a brother to Scottish National winner Captain Cody and jumped well on this first run over regulation fences, racing behind the leaders before taking over two out to beat Ned In The Park by four and a-half lengths. Winning trainer Henry de Bromhead said "I'm delighted with that. He was a horse we always hoped would improve for fences and it looks like, hopefully, he will. He's owned by The Cheeky Pups, who are great supporters of ours and of the game. Thankfully some of the lads are here - Ben Carty and Justin (Carty), who is part of the team, his dad Noel is here. Ross Crehan, Luke's son, is here too. Great to have everyone here and delighted for all of the lads." Additional reporting by John O'Riordan
