Review KILBEGGAN 4TH JUN

Punters enjoyed the better of the exchanges on a seven race card where Conor ODwyer and Barry Geraghty were the men to make the news.

Having displayed solid form in five bumper outings, The Jesuit (5/4 fav), hurdled well on his jumping bow in the opener, not being extended to beat Hume Theatre by 3L.

ODwyer, aboard that Dessie Hughes-trained victor, later doubled up, Jack Of The Cross, victorious for Wexford handler, Myles Sunderland in the hcap chase.

Akshar, sold out of the Sir Michael Stoute yard at Newmarket Autumn Sales in 2003 for 170,000 guineas, gained his second success for Dermot Weld in the winners of 1 hurdle.

After competing at Cheltenham and Punchestown, the five-time flat winner was the 4/6 favourite and he disposed of market rival, Tous Les Tables by an easy 6L.

Barry Geraghtys mount overcame the inconvenience of pecking at the final flight. However the real story was the kick Geraghty received before the start.

Cleared to ride in advance of the race, the Meath jockey had to be helped back to the weigh-room afterwards and didnt participate later on as he went for x-rays on an injured knee.

Amisina scored at the 18th attempt at Wexford 8 days ago, and Joe Crowleys mare followed up in the 2m hcap hurdle under Johnny Allen.

Light in the market at 7/2 second fav, the 5yo led before 2 out and stayed on well for pressure. The nicely-supported jolly, Lakil Princess could only manage 8th.

Pat Carey and David Flannery combined in the fourth with Precious Memories to keep the run of fancied winners going, the 9/2 joint fav triumphing by 5L.

Heavily-backed last time at this venue when a strong-finishing third, Piercing Sun quickened to lead from two out on his chase debut, clear from the last to win by 9L for Tony Mullins and Davy Russell.
