Review BELLEWSTOWN 23RD AUG

It was a memorable night for Eamon Tyrrell at Bellewstown on Wednesday as the Curragh handler saddled his first double.

Impetious initiated the brace when justifying her short price in the opening Tally Ho Stud Auction Maiden.

The 4/7f had to work to get the better of front-runner Miss Josiey Wales early in the straight before going on for a two-length victory under Willie Supple.

Tyrrell will try and find some black type for the filly now: 'Willie said she was just going through the motions - doing nothing. She got to the front and was pulling up. She is very relaxed at home.'

Dapple Dawn was a more generous price in the first division of the Ulster Bank N.E. Business Centre & Property Finance Handicap.

The 12/1 shot made the running, under Emmet Butterly, and battled back gamely when headed by Rising Force inside the final furlong to just edge the verdict.

'She's a tough filly but although that was her fourth run she is still green. She needs time and could go for another handicap this year before I put her away,' said Tyrrell.

Willie Supple, successful on Impetious for Tyrrell, also notched a double on the card courtesy of Poppyfield in the Castleview Homes Handicap.

Harry Rogers' charge was produced to lead inside the final furlong for a length success over Rockazar. She could turn out again at the Curragh on Saturday.

It was also a special evening for Dunleer trainer Lester Winters as Abow gave him his first winner when springing a 25/1 shock in the Rennicks Signs Handicap Hurdle.

'That was a nice surprise,' said Winters. 'I'll have the licence two years in October but the horses haven't been right and I've not had much luck. The yard had a bit of a virus and this is the first one to run well.'

Paul Carberry made a welcome return to the winners' enclosure when Whataboutya claimed the Kelly Green Laytown Maiden Hurdle.

Carberry, who has had an injury blighted summer, posted his first winner in two months when getting the gelding home by two-and-a-half lengths from Clearwaterdreamer.

Winning trainer Noel Meade went on to record a late double when Athlumney Lad ran out an easy winner of the concluding Irish Portable Cottages (QR) Race under Nina Carberry.

Davenport Democrat (4/7f) was a hot-pot in the Kilsaran Concrete Bellewstown Quarry Hurdle and duly obliged.

Ruby Walsh made all on the gelding and only had to shake him up after the last to record a comfortable five-and-a-half length verdict over War General.

'He could go to Tralee now. It might come a bit quick but there is a nice prize there for him. We'll see how he comes out of this. If he misses Tralee then he could go to Listowel,' said trainer Willie Mullins.

Adrian McGuinness admitted to being 'shocked a bit' after Send Me Home defied a year's absence to get up close home and land the second division of the Ulster Bank N.E. Business Centre & Property Finance Handicap.
