The best was saved till last at Kilbeggan as Lorna Fowler's newcomer Tommy Time left his rivals for dead in the second bumper on the card.

Graham Morrow's homebred son of Sageburg, a half-brother to useful jumpers Rocco and Line Ball, tracked the leaders under Maxine O'Sullivan before being produced to lead on the outer two furlongs out. Despite being green in front, the five-year-old went right away to beat Brandt by fourteen lengths.

“That was great, he’s a little dinger," said Fowler.

"I thought he’d handle the track and in the last couple of weeks he’s been going really well.

“He’s so genuine and honest and clearly he gelled well with Maxine. I believe he’s for sale and hopefully someone buys him and keeps him in the yard.

“He’s so athletic and jumps hurdles great.”
