Nouvotic now three from three at Wexford

Nouvotic is now unbeaten in three starts at Wexford after he landed the Jim And Kay Whitty Memorial Handicap Chase in the hands of Darragh O'Keeffe.

Previously successful in a maiden hurdle and beginners' chase at this venue, the six-year-old raced close to the pace throughout and, after looking booked for second on the approach to the last, outstayed Release The Beast on the run-in to post a length and three-quarters victory.

Sent off the 3/1 favourite (from 13/2 this morning) the six-year-old is trained for Roger Brookhouse by Henry de Bromhead.

"He seems to like it here, that's his third win here," said de Bromhead.

"Darragh gave him a super ride. Today was the plan so we'll see from here.

"He is improving for fences and is rated a bit higher over them."
