The Charleville Cheese Maiden Hurdle was won by the Andrew McNamara trained and owned Glenquin Castle ridden by his son Andrew.
McNamara raced his mount in mid-division and made progress approaching 3 out, led at last and stayed on well to win by 5 ? lengths.
Andrew McNamara trainer said, "The horse won his bumper first time out here but he has had a lot problems since then. He is a chaser in the making, we didn't want to risk him over fences on the fast ground during the Summer but he'll go chasing straight away now. He should make a nice staying chaser."
