Kerry Lee claimed her second big prize of the Fairyhouse Easter Festival when Top Gamble took the Normans Grove Chase.

Already a winner twice at this Grade Two level, most recently when beating Dodging Bullets in the Game Spirit at Newbury, the 5-4 favourite was settled off the pace cut out by Flemenstar and then Days Hotel

Richard Johnson moved him up to tackle the latter two out and he put in better leaps at the last couple of obstacles than the challenging Sizing Granite to help seal an authoritative seven-length triumph.

Classy Flat stayer Clondaw Warrior (9-2) proved that he remains really well treated in the winter sphere with a decisive triumph in the Farmhouse Foods Handicap Hurdle.

Ruby Walsh settled him towards the rear before making eyecatching headway against the rail to take the lead at the last, and he shot away from The Plan Man to score by three lengths.< Coney Island gave Barry Geraghty his fifth winner of the meeting, and JP McManus his fourth, when quickening impressively to collect the valuable I.N.H. Stallion Owners EBF Novice Handicap Hurdle Series Final.

Last in the Deloitte, Eddie Harty's 9-1 shot appreciated the rise to three miles, as well as the drop in class, and accelerated two and three-quarter lengths away from Stowaway Shark in the manner of a horse destined for better things.

McManus joined Geraghty on five winners when Miracle In Medinah (10-1) made a successful start to his career in the 42.ie Flat Race.< Cara's Oscar (8-1) goes particularly well fresh and reappeared from more than eight months on the sidelines to claim the BoyleSports Handicap Chase for his third success at this track in as many visits.< Dantes King s waywardness after the last handed the Uni-Flu Supporting Ratoath GAA Joseph R. O'Reilly Hunters Chase to 6-5 favourite Sydney Paget while Mr Diablo has kept good company since going over fences and made his quality tell as the 2-5 favourite in the Fairyhouse Vets Promoting Equine Health Beginners Chase.
