Kerry Lee registered her first success at the top table with Kylemore Lough (7-4) in the Ryanair Gold Cup Novice Chase at Fairyhouse.

The first-season trainer expertly placed her charge to win four on the bounce but he was taking a massive step up in class here.

He joined Outlander at the head of affairs shortly after Sizing Platinum departed and after the pair jumped the last together, pulled out more for Barry Geraghty to score by a length.< Jer's Girl picked up Grade One honours under Geraghty in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Novice Hurdle Championship Final.

Carrying the famous green and gold silks of JP McManus for the first time, the Gavin Cromwell-trained juvenile was backed down to 3-1 favouritism and taking up the running at the second-last, she saw out the two and a half miles well to account for Jessber's Dream by 13 lengths.< Acapella Bourgeois showed tremendous resolution to successfully concede weight all round in the Agnelli Motor Park Novice Hurdle.

Jonathan Burke made his own running on the 5-1 chance but was pressed and headed by Nambour after the final flight, only to rally and get his head back in front on the line.

Noel Fehily drove Three Wise Men (20-1) out to win the Cusack Hotels Maiden Hurdle, while Dollar And A Dream (4-1) proved strongest in the Gleesons Butchers Novice Handicap Hurdle in the hands of Paul Townend.

Townend followed up when Solita (13-2) backed up last month's timber triumph at Leopardstown with an emphatic victory in the Boylesports Novice Handicap Chase.

The Tattersalls Ireland George Mernagh Memorial Sales Bumper has been a springboard to success for horses such as Moon Racer in the past and this year's renewal went to the filly Forge Meadow (10-1) for the mother/daughter team of Jessie and Kate Harrington.
