BENEFFICIENT won a dramatic race in a three-runner affair for the Frank Ward Solicitors Arkle Novice Chase at Leopardstown.



Tony Martin's charge made the most of a fall at the fourth-fence of the hot favourite Arvika Ligeonniere and had just headed Oscars Well when he made a hash of the last.

That left Benefficient (10-1) to come home well clear under Bryan Cooper and register a second Grade One success after the Deloitte Novice Hurdle last February.
