Chris Hayes arrived late on Jim Gorman's Redera to win the ladbrokes.com Irish Poker Festival Handicap at Ballinrobe this evening. Across The Rhine appeared to have the race in safe-keeping a furlong out but Redera battled well under a strong drive to eventually to get his head in front close home for a three parts length win.

Gorman himself was absent but his assistant Aidan 'Mouse' O'Ryan did report “Redera is a tough sort and was a bit unlucky the last day. He'll probably go for another handicap at The Curragh on Sunday.”
