Denis Linehan continued to make a name for himself as he partnered his fourth career winner aboard Hes Our Music in the Irish Times Handicap at the Curragh.

The 7lb claimer only rode his first winner ten days ago and shone once again when giving the Pat Flynn-trained gelding a strong drive.

The 11/1 shot was produced to challenge two furlongs from home and was soon asked to hit the front.

He kept on strongly in the closing stages to post a two-and-a-half length winning margin over Katimavik

The winner had been well held on his last couple of outings but had run well when second at Gowran in June and had won off this mark of 90 at Dundalk last December.

Trainer Pat Flynn wasn't present to welcome back in his winner.
