Handicap debutant Chiraaz (5/1f) was well-backed in the morning (10/1 to 5/1) and proved a decisive winner.

He had been consistent in some decent maiden hurdles and looked on a fair mark here.

Robbie Dunne always had the gelding prominent and he had a narrow lead with a circuit to run.

Mystical Breeze tried to throw down a challenge running to the second last but couldn't get on terms and the winner pulled away again on the run-in.

The big gelding looks a natural chasing type and his attentions are set to be switched to fences next season after one more run this term.

Mystical Breeze had shown significant improvement when winning at Clonmel last time and ran another good race here. She may be capable of winning again.

Caman Swinger ran well on his first run since last September. He moved into contention three out and kept on at the same pace in third from the second last.

Barrow Drive chased the leaders throughout and kept on at the one pace down the straight. It was a better effort after a poor run at Cork.

The Bay Lad moved through to second at the third last but had no more to offer running to the second last and was soon a spent force.
