The Buy Tickets Online At TipperaryRaces.ie Handicap saw a short head, a nose and a head split the first four home as Jenniechild just came out on top for Peter Fahey and Robbie Downey.

Never far away, the 5/1 victor held on from Elegant Emmeline having got to the front inside the final furlong.

Gavin Lawlor, headman for Fahey, said: "She's had a few problems but we have her right now, and good to firm ground is the key to her. It's probably the first summer that she's got it."

Jenniechild won here off 52 having been up as high as 74 in her three-year-old days.

The Stewards fined David Marnane, trainer, €350 for lodging a passport in respect of Khwarizmi (USA), in which the vaccinations did not conform with the provisions of Rule 91.

The Stewards allowed the horse to run on receipt of the trainer's written assurance that the vaccinations were in order.
