< Cahirconree finally registered a deserved victory in the Point To Point Evening At Tipperary Handicap Chase.
The seven-year-old still held his maiden status but doesn't have too many miles on the clock over fences and travelled strongly into the lead at the second-last.< Afatcat went in pursuit but Cahirconree had plenty of petrol in the tank and Brian Hayes drove him out to score by three and three-quarter lengths at odds of 6-1.< Top Of The Town made hard work of it but eventually stamped his quality on the Kedrah House Stud 'Well Chosen' Beginners Chase.
The 7-2 chance was a useful handicap hurdler and after challenging at the last, had to dig deep to see off Baily Moon by a length and a half to make a winning start to life over fences.
Jessie Harrington and Robbie Power can do no wrong and they combined to land the Hotel Minella Maiden Hurdle with Rebelion Boy
The 7-1 chance challenged favourite Knockmaole Boy for the lead between the last two flights and readily saw him off to come home 11 lengths to the good.< Knockraha King appeared to have gained revenge on his Thurles conqueror Clounts Meadow (8-1) in the Ryans Cleaning Event Specialists Handicap Hurdle (Div 1), only to lose it in the stewards' room.
Knockraha King really battled hard and flashed past the post a short head in front, but they came close on the run-in and it was deemed sufficient to reverse the result.
Point-to-point winner Snugsborough Benny (6-1) hadn't made the frame under Rules heading into the second division but put the record straight with a three-and-three-quarter-length success.< Royal Tara (2-1) was a bloodless winner of the Glenview And Rathbarry Stud Novice Hunters Chase, while Patrick Mullins took the p2p.ie The Irish Point To Point Website (C & G) Point-To-Point Flat Race and the mares' version on Fabulous Saga and Duhallow Gesture respectively.
