Jockey Johnny Murtagh moved to within four winners of Jockeys’ Championship leader Pat Smullen (49-45) with a win on his first trip to Sligo since 2006, on the Eddie Lynam trained Iron Major
Iron Major, who was completing a hat-trick of wins, was outpaced in last place before halfway but made good headway to eventually get to the front close home for a neck win over Maarek
Lynam was not present for the win.
