Hayes at double aboard On A Session Chris Hayes doubled up at Down Royal on fast-finishing On A Session in the BoyleSports Extra Places Every Day Handicap over seven furlongs in Down Royal. The nine-year-old gelding was held up towards rear and came with a run between horses two furlongs down. He challenged inside the final furlong and led narrowly in the closing stages. He kept on best to win by half a length at 13/2 backed in from 10/1. Dynamic Force, the 4/1 favourite, came in second, a neck in front of Run Forrest Run at 33/1. Kieran Cotter said: "Plenty of ability and he has had a good long career in England. I think he mightn't have won for two seasons but he has picked up nearly £200,000 along the way. "I think he was second in three premier handicaps in Galway when they brought him over. "He had a bit of an injury there that had him out for a year and he came to me at the start of this year. We have freshened him up and whatever. "Turning track and produced late works beautifully. A lot of pace early on and Chris got to drop him in, slipped round the inside and then thankfully he tacked out because my other horse (fifth-placed Uncle Albert) ran into a bit of traffic problems up the inside. He's riding very well and delighted to get a win for that horse. "If he could sneak into a premier handicap somewhere and Garry (O'Gorman, handicapper) isn't too hard on him, I imagine that is where we would go. He needs a bit of luck in running as well." Hayes won the preceding race on Rajala for Dermot Weld.
