Dermot Weld's Salhooda produced a gutsy effort to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Race at Ballinrobe.
Sent to the front a long way from home by Pat Smullen, the 3-10 favourite could never quite get a large gap ahead of Kiss Goodnight
Try as John Murphy's filly might, though, she could not catch the winner, who kept on remorselessly to score by two lengths.
Aidan O'Brien may have finally found the right headgear for King Of The Romans as he got off the mark in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden.
After being tried in a variety of headgear in the past, the 10-3 chance sported a hood and blinkers when sneaking up the inner on the home turn under Joseph O'Brien.
Lengthening well up the home straight, the Holy Roman Emperor colt eventually recorded a three and three quarter-length success over Modista < Mutiska ran out a ready winner of the Ladies Day 25th June Handicap for Eoin Doyle.
Always travelling nicely for Sam James, the 14-1 chance cruised upsides Little Green on the home turn and quickened away to win by three lengths.< Call Me Bubbles finished full of running to land the Tipperary Water Hurdle, though it had taken a strong drive from Ruby Walsh to get him there.
Off the bridle and looking in trouble before the home turn, the even-money favourite suddenly found another gear on the final bend, leaping swiftly at the last to record a six and a half length win over Dawerann
Denis Hogan was given an armchair ride by Norah Starr as she decimated the field to land the Supermacs Ballinrobe And Claremorris Handicap Hurdle.< Totally Couture (11-2) proved an immovable object once in front in the Mulholland Bookmakers Maiden Hurdle, responding well to Davy Condon's urgings to hold favourite Enchanted Forest half a length at bay.
